Back in the day, I used to collect Franklin Mint die cast cars. Mostly '50's and 60's era. I also used to collect Marlin trains as a kid.

That's ironic. In the next few years I'd like to buy old corneas. Just keep your eyes peeled.

I love collecting autographed baseballs. I've always thought about collecting baseballs with other famous people on them like Rock Stars. That awesome that you've done that already! Who do you have?

Bob Dole caught a shitload of largemouth off Hula Poppers as a kid. Wait until mid summer and BAMM!

If there are knife makers in the house, I have acquired a few old buzz saw blades, probably 3' and a couple that are 4-5' across. I also have worked out a deal for some ferrier rasps.

I have a decent inventory of old industrial lights, barn pulleys, and trolleys with track.

"Inventory", that sounds intriguing.

Any anvils or old woodworking tools?

Bought about 1000 hot wheels, cars figures, and 10 hot wheels race track sets yesterday

350 bucks. Everything still in its packages brand new condition basically.

Ive got surprises for the little one for the next couple years.

Like barn door track?

Oh and I started out to try to find one specific cars figure on craigslist. Found a couple collections people were trying to punt. Offered about a tenth of asking and bought everything.

Are they old? Some of them are worth serious bucks in the package. Need to be from early 70's

Nope from 2003 and 2004.

The cars set was worth about a hundred by itself but it's being played with as we speak.

The cars alone are 94 cents a piece. And every track is still sold for at least $20 several for more.

I have some barn door track and I think I still have some rollers left. I also have several trolleys and several feet of barn trolley track.

Yesterday I accidentally brought home a 66 International half ton truck that is in really good shape for its age. Friday I made a deal to ship old horse hoof raps to a knife maker and I'm trading custom knives for them.

I think the most unique thing I've acquired this winter is an old Japanese hibachi. It is fairly ornate with carved handles and the copper box is in great shape. I've done a lot of digging but haven't pinned down a value on it yet.

I cut some nice cast iron wheels off of an old safe that I'm going to build into a railroad cart style table. That should turn some coins. I'll probably use barn boards if I have enough left after another project.

I'm really big into old signs. I mainly collect, but sell some from time to time.

Pic of the hibachi?

Just to know if its what I'm thinking of.
