Non-automotive collections
What do you guys collect that is non-automotive related? I have had this fantasy (it has to be a fantasy for now due to lack of funds) to do a 30's-40's's style room or kitchen with a juke box (preferably a Wuritzer Bubbler), old Coke signs and related era advertising and decor. Do any of you have like a 50's style room with Coke advertising or a cool collection that you would be willing to post pictures of? I know there are plenty of obsessive collectors out there like me that have non-automotive collections.

Re: Non-automotive collections
I collect/buy some old vintage menus at times. Love the 50's table and chairs. I remember them pretty well. Wish I had more room. I also collect 50's 60's Marx, Tonka trucks and some old unbuilt model Kits. It does not have to be real expensive collecting that stuff if you look around and go to local auctions and things. Also visit local used furniture and second hand stores. A good idea Frank. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Non-automotive collections
Here are a couple of shots of my dealership/warehouse. You can't see the gas pumps, redline Hotwheels/Matchbox and Vintage model kits and promos. I don't think there is much I don't collect. Thankfully, my wife doesn't visit here much.:)

Re: Non-automotive collections
Vintage kitchen table and chairs from 50's-60's are collectable and expensive. I went into a furniture store near the peterson auto museum. There prices were a $1000 or more for a vintage table and chairs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Non-automotive collections
Wow, those tables and chairs are bringing that type of coin? My neighborhood is filled with old houses where the people have been living in them for generations. I usually attend estate sales here since a lot of the old ethnics are dying off and there is usually one of those table & chairs sets at every sale. Most of them are now in the basement and not used. The ones that I have inquired about have been priced at $200-300. Man, it looks like I need to pick one up!

Steve [/ QUOTE ] The train stuff sounds cool. I know some guys that are into that. I know trains could run some big money. Speaking of pictures, I wish I could post some pics in the gallery but I know it's down. I myself am a local historian and have an EXTENSIVE collection of historical items, books, pamphlets, photographs, ephemera, and other items from my neighborhood and a couple of surrounding neighborhoods I am interested in. |

Re: Non-automotive collections
Here is some pictures of my local memorabilia collection. I collect items from Berwyn & Cicero, IL and from a couple of Chicago neighborhoods. I recently used my collection write a book on a Chicago neighborhood that has been published and will be released in stores on April 19th.

I collect old surfboards but the longboards 9' + 10' Like Hobie, Dewey Weber, Bing , Hanson ect but if they are straped to the top of my woodie wagon does that mean they are automotive

Re: Non-automotive collections
I have a collection of aluminum intake manifolds. The only catch is, I have to pay less than $100 for them at a swap meet and they have to be odd aftermarket or original GM or Ford pieces in order to stay on the wall. I'll get some pics posted soon.

Re: Non-automotive collections
Life,Time and Newsweek magazines with significant publishing dates. Example Life magazine dated Oct 13 1952,the day I was born.Family Birthdays and anniversaries.
Weekly magazines usually had the date on the front cover. have about 25 special ones. Paul |
Re: Non-automotive collections
Frank,I was going to ask when your book was going to come out.Now we know.I talked to your dad at MCACN in November and he said it was getting close.What book stores will it be in or where can we buy a copy?
Kendall https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif |
Re: Non-automotive collections
Kendall, The book will be locally in all the usual stores like Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc. It will be available online at Amazon.com and other online book outlets. I did not mention it much here because it's such a local Chicago topic that I figured there would not be much interest to people out of the area. Thank's for asking though! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
