What do INGOers collect?

[tmschuller]

Switchblades.. Got my first stilleto from my uncle who came back from Italy during WWII. He got it from a guy that didn't need it anymore.. That's all he would say.
Right now I only have about 5 but still looking.

 

[warthog]

Inert Ordinance. I have a bunch of it but it has gotten harder to find. It's being used by the war effort as training stuff maybe?
Homeland Security must be worried I can take sometime made of solid steel and somehow make it go boom.

Hard to say but I guess I will know now that we won the wars. Right?

I also collect TV & Movie prop guns and I have a fair amount of Dr. Who & Cthulhu memorabilia.

That is awesome.

I collect rocks and fossils. Whatever I found interesting I brought home. So far I have..... a bunch of rocks.

I have in the past few years started collecting old paving bricks, but that's pretty much just collecting rocks again.

I don;t know how close you are to South bend but I have a lot bricks from the Notre Dame. My father in law did some construction/ destruction There years ago. You'd be welcome to one. I have no provenance with them. But I know where they came from. These are pavers from the walks etc.

 

[Sylvain]

I totally want pics.

And I just want to point out that no one collects things from the future. Just from the past. Vintage apothecary equipment. Vintage ham radioes. C'mon! Who here collects antique warp cores or Antares class shuttlecraft?

Good point.

 

[Sylvain]

I collect berets.I have two.I guess it's the start of a collection.

 

[GlockRock]

Antique Tractors

 

[RyanGSams]

Sports Memorabilia. I have about 12 signed pucks from current and former hawks, only 2 of them i didn't have signed in person. Started about a year ago with Bobby Hull.

 

[pitbulld45]

I hear you have 2 so far.

You would be correct

 

[pitbulld45]

I collect cast iron cook wear. Antique skillets etc. I have a waffle iron that we use on a regular basis from the 1800's

 

[esrice]

Some really interesting collections so far. And I enjoy the stories. Keep it going!

Are they imprinted with letters or symbols by any chance? That's what I am into. It would be cool to get some Notre Dame imprinted Pavers.

 

[RandallX]

coins and stamps. both were family traditions passed down.

 

[Markedup]

Date nails from railroad ties.

 

[Brian Ski]

Vintage radio programs. "Old-Time Radio" or "OTR" in the hobby. In MP3.

When I was a bit younger I used to stay up late and listen to the CBS radio mystery theater. Still remember a few of those. Probably the tail end of old time radio.

 

[1911ly]

Sadly no. I doubt ND would have that many they'd let go for scrap. If any. I have looked up some of the manufacturer's names on the bricks. Some are well over a hundred years old.

 

[Trigger Time]

I'd like a ND brick please.

 

[Lebowski]

Nothing really. I've got a lot of random junk and clutter but not a lot of the same things.

Randomly all over campus the sidewalks have the letter I in them. I finally asked asked maintenance what all the letter I's are for?? They are showing the direction of buried utilities under the concrete... Oh...Hmmm... More useless trivia!!!

 

[saleen4971]

credit card debt, and scars?


i have a small shot glass collection - sadly i lost a lot of them (in my early teen years i had 3 dozen, all from different states/countries/etc) so now i am down under the 20 mark

i tried to collect pocket knives, but being that when i started, my age was in the single digits, my mother "hid them" for "my safety" and lost them (including one my grandfather gave me from ww2)

 

[1911ly]

I'd like a ND brick please.

You shall have one sir!! Just remind me on my next trip down.
