Never seen copper, but I have aluminum and stainless steel, tapes.

i collected every one of the stuffed taco bell chihuahuas. they had a different one every week, i think, for a few months. i used to go through the drive through just to get one, i don't even eat at taco bell. my chihuahua loves them. he has a basket full of them and he takes them out one by one and lines them up on the floor or brings them onto the bed....
also, recipes, cds, binders and binders full of guitar tabs and chords, many that are handwritten, and aveda products.

i collect dollars. anyone got any interesting ones they'd like to donate to my collection?

as promised.

Are those moonstones in the hilt?

I wish. Fake mother of pearl I believe.

You're gonna cut your eye out.:worried:

Did Red Ryder ever make a sword with a compass in the hilt and this thing which tells time?

I have one of these ... does that count?

Red Ryder didn't care where he was or what time it was. He wasn't pussy whipped.:p

Where's the gnomon? How the heck do you make that gizmo work? And don't say, "first, you need the Sun..."

you put the "saturn" on a flat surface.

Point the "S" on the dial toward the south. Tilt so the "XII" is touching the surface. A bead of light bounces off the shiny marble and shows the time.

I also have an aquitaine style shepherd's watch. I'm being too lazy to take a picture of mine, and I haven't been able to find my exact style online in a picture yet (I have the moon and stars design)

Don't tell Ralphie, he has his heart set on an official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time.

Yeah, but Red Ryder didn't shoot himself in the eye, like that foul mouthed, lug nut loser, Ralphie.:haha:

I collect Baseball stuff. It started with cards and signed baseballs, but then I found out that you could buy the actual, game-used bats that the players used - which led to my starting to collect jerseys, gloves, spikes, hats, along with the more 'normal' and mainstream collecting of photos, bobbleheads, etc. This collection has completely taken over the master bedroom of my house, and is creeping slowly down the hall and threatening the living room.

I live in Arizona, and love the Diamondbacks, so most of my stuff is DBacks-related, including most of the 400+ game-used bats. My sister gave me one of Randy Johnson's game-used gloves for Christmas. The mascot of the now-defunct Phoenix Firebirds minor league club is on a manneqin in a corner of the master bedroom.

The aforementioned sister has become a baseball 'nut' and collector as well - she recently bought the sign that hung on the fence outside the baseball field ('Minnifield Field') on Northern Exposure, to put on the wall above her computer, and she bought me an old bat that was a prop in the 'Unnatural' episode of the X-Files, season six.

I used to collect other things, and still do buy a lot of books, but my love for all things Baseball has pretty much taken over my collecting interest...my life...my house...
