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.

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.

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.

[/ QUOTE ] No. What that was all about is Mossport thinks I am a cop so that was a dig against me for outing him about the decal he was selling. I don't want to crap up this thread so I will just let it go.

Re: Non-automotive collections
Awesome Schwinn collection! I wonder how many people "get" the connection with the musclebikes. I have gravitated to the runabouts, but have a couple ramshorn's that are minty. Is that a Coppertone fenderless 64 in the lower left?
My other sickness, Honda 50's.(One corner of the room)  Like lays potato chips,ya can't have just one
