Wife collects it too but i really enjoy searching for Frankoma Pottery. Have probably 25+ pieces. Don't have any pics as they are still packed away in our moving boxes. Will be getting them out in the next couple weeks when we move into our remodeled house.

I have always wanted a Pachinko machine. When I was growing up, the father of a childhood friend owned one. He let me play it occasionally.

There's just something hypnotic about watching the little ball spin around and tumble thru the pins.

And the sound - chunk ***** *****...

Old cookbooks. Started out trying to find the ones my great grandma had recipes and poems in… now have around 100. Most all the ones I collect are like this, a lot of “talk” which makes them interesting.

Ever since I was a kid I was a collector of pocket knives and can openers and as I got older, I got into guns and tactical folders and belt buckles and records and etc. As I got old I have got rid of a lot of stuff, but here is some items I can't part with yet. And I quit smoking over 20 years ago. Other than the cost of cigarettes and my lungs the Camel stuff was all perks for no cost.

My Camel Zippos, all unfired and others I bought.

And just for the heck of it, the old CHL pucks

Awesome collection. I used to have a lot of Camel stuff too. I worked at a convenience store when I was younger, and the tobacco guy always brought me some promo stuff.

Nice CHL puck collection. Once upon a time, I had an OKC Blazers puck signed by coach Doug Sauter. I also had a Blazers cap signed by Doug Lawrence, Steve Simoni and "Smokin'" Joe Burton.
