Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I collect... fill in the blank...

For me it's coleman stoves and lanterns, vintage usa cast iron, vintage USA knifes with a few german, 50s toasters, coffee pots, old Disston saws. That's just my garage stuff.

I didn't really mean to collect them but they are things I use and if I see one for a couple bucks I can't resist.

Cleaning the garage I had this stuff scattered everywhere, including the old trailer I unloaded after getting another one.

When I organized it... HOLY Crap!

What do you collect intentionally or unintentionally?

Nothing but heads and horns off critters I shot.

Unfortunate to say, I didn't keep any of my horns and stuff till later in life. The folks I grew up with just chucked the heads out by the corrals and the dogs dragged them off to chew on... I remember some huge Kaibab and Dove creek heads my uncles and cousins killed...

My first deer was a nice 4X muley. My friend was talking about it when we were elk hunting last month. He said, 'that was a big old buck, and the one I missed was bigger, it still haunts me 40 years later'... I never kept that rack and it haunts me now.

If'n the original poster decides he wants to let go of a cast iron dutch oven for a few bucks, please give a holler. Would like one and the new ones look like crap. Wouldn't mind finding an old Griswold or comparable DO.
I collect time off work, cute kid photos (hard not to with my two daughters), good memories, and according to my wife, less hair on my head.

I have friend who collects Coleman lanterns. He strives for one of each year and or model, I think in some cases he had more than one may be you two need to get together and se if you can help each other complete your collections. PM me if interested
give me your E-mail and if he is interested I will have him contact you. Cheers NC
P.S. Do you have any wood augers in the 2-3inch diameter?

Belly Button Lint.

Very nice revolver collection.

Have you seen the prices they are getting for those on fleabay?
Used em for many years, and always had the 2 foot flame until they warmed up

Kent - cool things you gather, and nice examples there. Thanks.

Several 52-72 trucks (some big - mostly Chev/GMC) have collected me, as have some blue collar rifles.

I love gathering up wonderful people as close friends. Have found precious few - and they surely are precious.

Miocene shark teeth. It IS part of my job, too, but I still do it on my own.

Unfortunately my cast iron and carbon knives in the cardboard box are untouchable.

As far a dutchovens, the lodge are the best for cooking. I do have an old Wagner titetop made with the griswold molds after they merged. A griswold footed DO will cost 300.00 bucks if you could find one.

I have three green pumpups... 220F, 220H, 220J, fairly common but if he needs one That's fine with me. I just use them and don't need that many. I have a red 200A but that one I'm keeping.

No augers, sorry.

Kent

Yes you do have nice trucks... friends, I'm not so sure about...

Kent

$100 bills.
