There seems to be a leaning amongst a lot of members to team their Rolexes with sharp pointy things and boom-boom sticks!

As well as my swords I have a few shotguns/rifles.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is any kind of psychological connection between and appreciation for watches and appreciation for weapons. I have a TOTAL weapons fetish with a special appreciation for swords.

My sword collection includes originals from the civil war and feudal Japan and excellent, accurate reproductions from Imperial Rome and the Middle Ages.

My gun collection is all modern and military. Enough said here for obvious reasons.

I suspect we are both ready for the Zombie Invasion as well as the Revolution eh?

I plan to be in the UK at the end of the month. A couple of my favorite sword spots to visit...The British Museum, The Royal Armories at Leeds and at the Tower as well as The Wallace Collection.

Dan, yours is a very interesting type of collection. What possessed you to start collecting barber chairs?

Had a boss [friend] who had one is his trophy room. Alway thought it would be a blast to have a barber chair [or two] because they are unique, functional, and great examples of Americana.

Coins, stamps(mainly from 1800's), modern and vintage Star Wars toys, modern and vintage Transformers toys(mostly 1980's Gen 1 and re-releases of the original Gen 1's), DVDs(mostly 1970's and 1980's television), CDs(classical, hip-hop, pop, country, electronic, metal, and rock-just about every genre), die-cast automobile models(love AUTOart and Kyosho), and 1:43 resin automobile models.

Osbong · 10 April 2011, 01:58 AM

My collection are mostly colt 1911 and S&W revolvers.

Puffy · 10 April 2011, 03:05 AM

civil war swords sound cool...

don't have time/space to collect but do love photography...

KR200 · 10 April 2011, 03:19 AM

I collect 50's and 60's micro or bubblecars.

The piece de resitance is the Peel Trident.

Look at it as a left handed Double Red Seadweller unworn and previously owned by the CEO of Rolex with full B&P. But rarer. So small you can keep it in a house!

True Jetsons 60's machine. Form an orderly queue and plenty of filthy lucre.

Well you gotta collect something!!

I want to sell everything I've ever bought in my life to put into my next rolex purchase.
If I could do it, i'd never have to buy anything else in my life including food.
hows that for obsession?
