Very exciting but everybody must be careful about one thing especially: The seismic situation of your geography. If they are just hold on nails to obtain the wall composition you desire easily, in even a slightest earthquake, they would all fall onto the floor from a height and probably many of them would get damaged, a little or more which would mean a very avoidable and silly catastrophe. They must be mounted well to the wall, like which you have done as far as I can see from the pictures.

I STARTED COLLECTING IN THE 1960'S THERE WASN'T A LOT IN MY AREA BUT I COULD USUALLY FIND SOMETHING AT THE GUN SHOWS ABOUT 4 TIMES A YEAR PLUS THE OCCASIONAL GARAGE SALE OR ANTIQUE SHOP FIND.IN THE MID 70'S I WENT TO WORK OFFSHORE ON THE OIL RIGS AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRAVELING ON MY DAYS OFF AND VACATION AND THE COLLECTING PICKED UP SPEED. I DRUG STUFF IN FROM ALL THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND STUCK IT INTO MY PARENTS BARN UNTIL I FINALLY GOT A HOME. WHEN EBAY FIRST STARTED I PICKED UP QUITE A LOT OF STUFF, IT WAS THE BEST HUNTING I EVER SAW LOTS OF NEAT STUFF CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK THEN. THIS IS PART OF MY COLLECTION BUT A LARGE PART IS NOT ON DISPLAY RAN OUT OF ROOM AND HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO SAFELY DO A CELING DISPLAY YET. PUT IN SOME PICTURES OF OLD MUSEUM DISPLAYS OR PERSONEL COLLECTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, I WILL LOOK AND SEE IF I HAVE ANY NEAT PICTURES AROUND.

WE DON'T HAVE EARTHQUAKES OR 200 POUND TEENAGERS RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE HERE BUT DO HAVE TORONADOS IF ONE EVER HITS MY HOUSE EVERYONE SHOULD RUN AS IT WILL BE THE WEEDEATER FROM HELL
