Does anyone really care that I used to collect maps, books, guitars, diseases, harmonicas, music folios, weird electronics, ephemera, LEDs, computer kits, Mission furniture, Marxist lit, religious paraphernalia, 78 & 45 & 33 & 16 RPM records, SF bus transfers, pewter-ware, baskets, Navajo jewelry, o'uds, odd stones, vacuum tubes, recipes, and suckers? Nope.

I do. This is one of my passions and why I am in the business. I want to know exactly what you're passionate about and then hunt for the perfect match.

I have an old mint Kennedy wood toolbox filled with my dads old machinist goodies. Special drills, toolbits, an old mic, a really cool vise for a milling machine I swear is hand made by my dad if I remember correctly.

You're in Detroit yeah?

Thats cool! I'd love an old oak box but they're so expensive its not worth it to me. Most of my machinist tools date back to the 40s and 50s but they all still read true. I found a plan I think I'm going to order to build an wooden machinist box.

Yes I'm near Detroit. Could be why I started getting into old tools. Lufkin being made in Michigan is the main reason I started collecting that brand.

I've got three meerschaums, one from the early 1900s with amber stem (claw and egg shape) and a clay from the 1800s. I mostly collect Kaywoodies though.

I have some of those ,but not in great condition ,they came in some of the job lots I bought to get hold of a meerschaum .I am going to have to clean them up sometime to display them along side the meerschaums .

One of my hobbies is restoring and flipping pipes. It funds the collecting part.
Heres my favorite meerschaum and a kaywoodie I restored.
