As for knives, I just picked up a red stag cigar whitler from Case. It's part of their Select line and is very cool!!!

I collect the Tiny Texas Toothpick and other stag handled Case patterns. I also like the pearl handled knives by Case. And have a few of the new Swayback Jacks and Liner lock Trappers(of course in Stag)

Dave, forgot to mention, your Cotton picker knife is awesome!!!

I collect scale die-cast vehicles. Although my collection has shrunk considerably, I still have some fairly collectable ones (to me anyway, maybe not in the grand scheme of die-casts) that I may not let go. My interests/money has shifted almost entirely to watches as of late. There are still some "grail" die-casts out there that I think I will still purchase, someday.

My compliments!

Thank you, Richard. They make me happy.

I collect harmonicas...well not really collect them, I just have a load in different keys. If I collected I'd buy all the dumba$$ special edition and endorsed harps. I just buy what sounds good in what key I need.

If I could afford it I'd collect tube amps and harp mics but I can't so I don't!!!!!

I have a bunch of comic books, novels and text books but like my cd's, dvds, video games and LPs they are just "stuff"...they aint a collection.

I also have a bunch of cookery books so I guess that's a a collection (although if I was collecting I'd but the El Bulli books and possibly the fat duck cookbook).

I collect coins and bears (mainly expensive Rupert Bears) for my son.

My wife seems to collect hair straighteners!!!!!!

Dig these, Jim - our most recent additions - this one circa 1928 for our entry foyer:

And this one, circa 1930, for the bedroom sitting room (the little lamp on the dresser is old, too):

Jimbits76 · 17 March 2009, 12:39 AM

Nice Tiffany style fitting in the first pic...would go great in my dining room.

The Art Deco style fitting in the bed/sitting room is gorgeous and is really complemented by the emulsion colours.

Next time I'm out and about I'll see if I can dig anything up for you....

Now that's 1920-30's fittings and a couple of chimney pots on the list!!!!!!!!!

Lion · 17 March 2009, 12:44 AM

Lisa, I like the fixture in the front foyer!!!
Very cool.

One thing's for sure, Jim - people who collect things are interesting! One more reason to think you're the bee's knees.

I'm starting to think that I must have done something seriously wrong in a previous life to be lumbered with old TurkeyJerky1957!!!!!!!!!

Woe is me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't got anything as classy as David and yourself...you have great taste...I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for some Clarice Cliff or Rene Lallique when I'm on my travels to compliment your ornaments!!!!!!!!!!!!

I play and collect guitars,amps,/ I love to workout so that is part of my past time. Xbox 360. Sports you get the picture..

Dan Pierce · 17 March 2009, 01:26 AM

This one's for you, Lisa.

Bought this art deco lamp over 20 years ago. I remember the shop owner told me if I broke one of the globes just throw the whole thing away cause I'd never find another.

So far, so good.

Lion · 17 March 2009, 01:37 AM

Dan, that lamp fixture is beautiful!!!

Lisa · 17 March 2009, 01:37 AM

Oh, Dan! You know how to get a gal excited! In a nice way!

Seriously, that is gorgeous. So Art Deco! But you know what? Ebay is a great source for slip shades. So don't despair if one ever gets broken - if you look long enough you'll probably find a replacement. I've found a few to complete our fixtures, and just a couple weeks ago sold 4 that I had that were duplicates. Just search for "slip shade" and about 100 things will pop up any given day.

See what I mean, Dan? You might want to grab these to have extras just in case!

I thought I already did with my "bruised ego" pic.

Thanks for the link. I'll keep that in mind.

Btw, love your vintage lighting.
