Steph Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Such elegant glass. I turned down a Hummel collection. The only Hummel I have is a little girl with a slate, which was my high school graduation present. My collections are Cracker Jack and gumball toys. And old textbooks.

kbobam Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks for the gumball toys pic. Think I'm getting it now. I have a vague recollection of gumball-type machines with little plastic pods in them. Which would make sense for stuff like this which couldn't just be tossed in the machine. I never paid much attention, since I only had eyes for the psychedelic super-balls. Oh-oh. Just remembered that I told the folks at JaboLand a long time ago that I was going to take a photo of these. If you talk to Ant before I do, let him know I'll soon be sending him a photo of my (No, no. I just can't do it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipocritter Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hey Bob, It started when some super balls came with marble collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 On my inactive collection list (unless I stumble across something I can afford and can't live without) are . . . small crystalline mineral specimens (micro-mounts); tropical & sub-tropical sea shells; toy horses made before 1960; Hartland Plastics western figures on their horses (Big Champs & Small Champs); containers (mostly basketry and wood) from New Guinea, Borneo, Sumatra, etc., with a few thrown in from Africa. My two unfortunately-active things are trade beads (African and Asian trade) and marbles. I've been accused of collecting purses and shoes, but I don't count those. Galen, I like your bird prints. And Killer, that's killer art glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Anything I find neat I should have said that too. And I forgot hubcaps. Started off with just found hubcaps -- the ones you used to see by the side of the road -- and then wound up with some classics (profile of Mercury, a Plymouth hubcap with a clipper ship, a reflector-studdied Caddy, etc.) The silver-age comics went with the housemate many years ago. I forget what I got instead. Boy am I sorry. (Favorites: Dr. Strange, Thor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
