How many years of collecting does that represent Barry ?

VANDOO · 3rd September 2005, 10:49 PM

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

Great pics Barry, You need an air raid shelter to protect you & your family, if a twister hits, not from the twister but from your collection.

Finally, my Hero comes out of seclusion... Hope the newly promoted grandpa is doing fine.

Well Barry, as always, I'm impressed. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
