    I collected an ammo can of pocket knives for a while. Then when I turned 60 I started giving my sons a choice of 3 knives every Christmas. Now I only have 10 or 15 left. I never had an obsession for collecting anything in particular. I do have a lot of random old things.

    More of an accumulation than a collection - military trucks and trailers from the '60s - early 90s. Deuce-and-a-halfs, 5-tons, and CUCVs. No LMTVs or HUMMVs.

    Holy crap, that's a nice motor pool you have there. Are all of those running? What exactly do you do with them? Parades? Convoys?

    Most start with work and run, but had issues when bought. Retirement hobby is getting them running more reliably and selling them. One used for flood rescue in 2016, two prepped for Hurricane Harvey response but not needed.

    Case knives, my wife got me a nice one as a wedding present so now I try and find one every year for our anniversary.

    I have a pretty solid collection of military uniforms and field gear, I try and get all the assorted web gear for each service weapon I have. Trying to get an example of every US service rifle and pistol and all of the assorted gear. I have a pretty good stack of field manuals for all sorts of topics as well.

    I also collect hotwheels. Really easy thing to store and cheap to buy. Going to hunt for them makes grocery shopping more bearable.

    That’s awesome! How much would you give for a good running 2 1/2? I’ve been wanting one for a couple years now, just don’t know how much I should be paying.
