I have several collections like coins, firearms (unbuilt model kits) and such.

...I used to have marbles but I lost those a few years ago
Funny you should mention that, Geo - I happen to have quite a collection of marbles (although I don't think any of them are yours). It started many (many, many) years ago, when I pulled a red marble out of an old Rustoleum spraypaint can my Dad had in the garage. Over the decades since then, I have yet to find another - they all range from clear to such colors as blue, green and even a brownish hue. Some of the really old spraypaint cans had wooden balls, many newer brands have steel balls.

Anyway, here's they are:

I collect
Books
Ordnance survey maps
Porcelain coffee cans (v small cups)
Eggs
Die cast models (various)
smart car stuff
and other things I can't remember probably
 
I collect lots and lots of aircraft books, 95 percent WWII aircraft. Declassified documents for WWII and aircraft manuals. There is an old thread located here to show your library but I know must of who posted its grown since we all took these. I know mine has.

Show us your library....
 
Nice marbles Dave, maybe you've got Geo's in there. I collect books, lotsa books, old Matchbox unbuilt 1/72 aircraft kits - only the 1:72 ones as the bigger boxes take up too much space - The unofficial reference to vintage Matchbox kits

Grey hair, collecting lots of those these days; in the drain hole in the shower, on my arse, in my ears, tufts of it, but not, sadly, on my head anymore...
