Any body collect anything, be it everyday objects or unusual things?. I collect thimbles, old postcards, and am always looking at old china (Royal Worcester and Crown Derby). my Aunt collets salt&pepper sets, she has no end. I used to collect Wedgwood Jasper ware, but it's a devil to dust!..

Just me old crystals. Expensive rocks basically.

hi christine, i used to collect those dragons hoding crystals -but they were a sod to clean. i now stick to glass paperweights they are so easy to polish. [my hubby says i have a strange habit of collecting birth, marriage and death certs- i dont know what he is talking about !] lol sue.

Certainly are Marion, (crystal that is!) I used to work in a department store, selling china and glass, and that crystal, was frightened to touch it at first.. Was dusting one day, and accidentally knocked the head off Napoleon, a china figurine, I felt so instantly sick!, can't remember how much it cost but it was expensive. Luckily, we were covered by insurance, but it didn't make me feel any better at the time!..

I collect cherished teddies, especially the themed ones. Can be an expensive hobby, especially when you look at how cute they are, you want them all.LOL.

Wouldn't think anyone collects brass nowadays. Could be good investment for the future though!

I used to collect those little Wade Whimsies, and got rid of them years ago, had a fit when I see how much they fetched on Cash in the Attic programme the other day!.

You'd be pleasantly surprised just how much these things fetch on e-bay, Marion. Think you could be sitting on a fortune!.. ha ha

hi all- i work in a charity shop- we cannot give the bits of brass away ! sue

Espescially on that Yorkshire site- Ebaygum

Ha ha Daniel,very cheeky!..

Small boxes made of wood, tin, shell, brass etc...anything in minature really. Capi de Monte roses/flowers Anything, and I do mean anything, to do with Art Nouveau or the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. Viv
