Old coin operated machines of all types, The old Wurlitzer's are my favorites though. Started back in the early '70's when not many folks wanted them. Sometimes, going to a show, I'll put an old, unrestored slot machine from 1931 in the back of the Ford "A" pick up. It adds a good touch with the rest of the junk I carry around in the bed.

National Geographic magazines, I have all years and months from 1920 on and a few pre-twenties. My oldest Geo will turn 100 in two and a half years.
 
After my fight with cancer I sold off most things I collected and over half my parts hoard. Used to have a good collection of slot cars, keys and HO scale trains. Still have one slot car track with 2 cars and enough train stuff for a 4X8 layout if I decide to put it together. Kept enough of my gun collection for hunting and 2 guns given to me by my Grandpa. Still haved my delivery and KRW tools and some A and T parts. Likely will be selling of a lot more stuff when I get back working to pay off Jessies med bills. The important thing is she is doing very well. Parts collection can be replaced. Rod
 
"Aladdin" brand kerosene lamps.

old Starr-X bottle openers.

beer and RC Cola items, pre-1970.

when I was working and had more money to fritter away, I collected a lot more than I do now.
(once had 700 beer cans back to the 1930s displayed on shelves)
now we are always trying to thin the herd but CraigsList bargains and occasional freebies make it difficult.
I've advised my daughter that a lot of what looks like rubbish to her actually has cash value :rolleyes:
 
Model A era flashlights...mostly Eveready. They make great accessory items for our cars. I usually give a good working original or restored flashlight to members of my local Club that show a car at a National Event.
 
I also collect and restore old wind up phonographs. I hope to someday have a Model A C-Cab delivery with the RCA Nipper logo on the sides.

I only have one Model A, but a collection of MGB's, (if you can call two a collection). I have had the MGBs for most of my life now. I also collect radios from the '30s, tube type ham radio equipment, and vintage HiFi from the '50s & '60s.
 
I collect rocks from all over the world. Got a pebble from the traditional baptismal site of Christ in Jordan, a piece of sandstone from Saddam Hussein's former ministry of defense building, volcanic rock from the big island of Hawaii, a chunk of rock from Dracula's estate in Romania, a piece of granite from the Crazy Horse carving in South Dakota, a meteorite that my dad found when he was a kid, and on and on........oh, and these cameras made in Germany that I have been trained to repair (for myself).
