I have somewhat of a stash of old school BMW motorcycles and parts.
I also can't seem to have just one drum kit though I don't play with anyone so why the H do I need multiple kits?
I also have a soft spot for German tools (Heyco mainly) and tend to search for deals on eBay.

I think this is cool. I love the vintage BMW motorcycles with sidecars.

The main thing I collect is watches. High end Swiss mechanical/Low end Swiss mechanical and everything in between that strikes my fancy. Between this hobby, guns and the cost of new running shoes every six months or so, I think my wife will eventually strangle me. If I had more wherewithal financially, there's no end to the trouble I'd get in hobby wise.

I like to try to collect dummy rounds, have a few cool ones, but haven't had the money for very many lately. Coolest one I have is a 37mm Tank round from the WW2 era, it's date stamped 1942.

I like to try to get other random old military stuff, like my 1918 canteen as well.

I collect guns mostly ones that appeal to me for whatever reason but my truest love in the gun world are "old west era" items with U.S. Cavalry being my favorite. I have a beautiful 1873 Springfield carbine (sadly it's a cut down but from what I've been told it was probably done during the era and they did an amazing job). I really want an 1873 Colt SAA and a Cavalry saber to go with it but that's not in the budget so for now I'm just looking for anything related like maybe a bridle/bit with the US markings, hat pins from the time basically anything "old west".

I also collect helmets of all kinds but my favorites are military helmets and flight helmets. I have some fire helmets, a last Gen "steel pot", a helicopter flight helmet, several current Gen ballistic helmets. I don't know why I love them but I do and I'm always watching out for another.

My largest collection though, by far, are teddy bears :). I'm not sure how many I have but I would say it's probably around 60 or 70. I LOVE teddy bears! lol...I can't resist them...they are soooo cute!

Anywho...that's about it. Guns, helmets and teddy bears :).
