G'Mornin' Mz KaleyGal!
My Mind is actually pretty Sieve-Like, I enjoy digging up stuff..then forget Much of What I Learned. So..like this Story..I have to write it down..or it's a Goner! (& I allus Apologize to folks I meet..for the First Time. KNOW I gotta Embarrass-Myself an average of 3X before I'll remember a Name!)
With Early Mechanical Objects, it's Diffo...if it's Wacky-Enough, I'll prolly take it to the grave with me.
There WAS a Movie made about "The Collector"...English Guy who chloroformed Unsuspecting Babes/pirated 'em home to his Castle..& Dungeoned 'em in the Basement. Weirdest "Love-Story" Ever, Grim Ending too, alas. (THAT I've remembered prolly about 20 years...it's quite sad & memorable/GREAT Acting!) "Disney" it warn't...heh!
Me...I collected Butterflies at age 6...didn't have the heart to kill 'em by age 7...collected Coins from then 'till '65, when I discovered Dating...still collected Early U.S. Glass Marbles thru College (Most were later stolen). In 'Nam, I collected Mountainyard Artifacts..then on to Europe where I got into Antiques & Clocks & Clockmaking Tools. '73, Back in Tampa, I got into Old Fans, Typewriters, Pencilsharpeners..Plants..Trees/Bromeliads/Orchids..& Parrots.
WISH I'd had the Loot to Collect Vintage Cars..Wine..(Maybe More Women?);-)> and Ol' Tractors. Other'n the Wine, I got One-Each (& only La Femme is Operable..heh!)
I've always had a "Weakness" for The Unique..& tho I "Lost" that Phono, I've got some of the Rarest Early FANS ya ever saw..& some really-Bizarre Pencil Sharpeners & Typewriters I picked up a-huntin' for more Fans~! (&..got a 19 1/2 foot Street Clock a-running in the Shop's Front Yard that was the Zenith of my Clock Collectin' Days...still got a few nice 300 & 200 year old ones in what's left of That Collection for the Sons to Fight-Over someday..heh!)
La Femme occasionally threatens to have The Ultimate Garage Sale in our front yard...so I've cut WAY back on collectin' ANYTHING the last couple of years. (&..she makes ME dust Most EVERYTHING we got here, too...) ;-)>
Thanks for Your Kind Visit & Words, M'Sweet LadyChum!
Big Hugs backatcha!
Ol' Stan-The-Accumulator Hisself~
