| COLLECTING PAGE |
I suppose that the collecting page could have been classified as a hobby, but I could not possibly
get all of my collecting "stuff" on my hobbies page, so I have devoted a seperate page to
collecting.
I have been collecting (my wife says that I am an accumulator, not a collector) since I was a child
and had quite a large collection of comic books (I wish that I had kept them). I was president of
the stamp and coin collecting club in high school (nerd). During my young married life I was into
wine, gun and knife collecting and primitive art (mostly African). At the present time I have a
collection of antique farm tools and collected Beanie Babies during the first few years of their
popularity(still have several hundred, want to buy some ?). I collect ice skating pins and a small
collection of Olympic pins. I even collect bandanas.

Antique hand axe. I have never seen another
like this. It is not uncommon to find
one-of-a-kind antique farm tools, as most were
handmade and for a specific use. Do you have
experience with unique farm tools ? I would
like to hear about them

Antique hay scythe with original catcher
(holds the hay as you cut it). I have a couple
of scythes that do not have the catchers. The
view is on my livingroom fireplace above the
ceiling beams.
