of anything really. I collect WW1 militaria but would be interested to hear what other people collect and the prices they have paid, rarities etc.

It was soul vinyl, sold that off , bit of ITFC stuff, but, if 6 is a collection, Saul Bass film posters. Got to be original mind! The best one was 3 times what I told the Wife! She likes them which helps. but male collections are sometimes difficult to display/store. How do you get on? |  | | |

Started to collect those shot glasses with Derby and Grand National winners on, recently saw some at £5 each in antique centre. Also bought a bundle of seaside humour post cards a few years back, mostly Bamforth so starting to collect them. Latest interest Pub beer pump labels, the Cotleigh ones are very good. Nothing ww1 but have found some artefacts including trench craft aluminium with names of towns on front line engraved on it. | | | |

I have a very large collection of US Marvel comics. An almost unbroken run of Amazing Spider-Man from 1963 to 2005 when it became far too time consuming to keep up. Same with the Avengers, Daredevil, X-Men and other lesser known titles.
Worth a few quid as it goes. |  |

Retro video games. Been doing it for a number of years now, have a fairly decent collection but also make some cash from it by selling the bits that I don't need. Main focus is on the SNES and N64 consoles |  |

Being a dealer of fine art I can assure you I have many interesting pieces. Ranging from a 17th blackjack water bottle from the Battle of Tippermuir 1644 (English Civil War) to local artists such as Thomas Smythe and to a Benin bronze Medicine Man’s Bag. Circa 1890…..plus everything in between. |  | | |

The WW1 militaries sounds fascinating. WW1 is a subject that interests me a lot. I don’t really collect stuff.
If we go on a trip we always try and find something for the Christmas tree from there. We’ve been doing this for decades and it has become a once a year memory tree. We have stuff from everywhere from Afghanistan to Vienna to Worcester. Just cheap stuff - small odds and ends. |  | | |

I went on a WW1 tour to the Western Front and have been hooked since. My favourite piece I own is a piece of fabric (camouflage lozenge) from a German bi-plane framed in its original frame from 1918. | | | |

Shell cases are very popular and so are the bases of the shells made into officers caps. [Post edited 1 Mar 20:24]

Sitting here I forgot about the Whitefriars glass! Very 1960's, and I think you could get it in Woolies back then! And a few 50's/60's toy robots dotted around. I would like to go in for Gerry Anderson stuff, , but I also don't like clutter, something would have to go! | | | |

The odd first edition myself, but a pal died recently and his family are having to dispose of
Nearly every Man City programme from WW2 on
A collection of Belle Vue Aces speedway stuff
A complete set of Giles annuals
A collection of PG Wodehouse
Every Good Beer Guide
Railwayana
Boxes of (full) commemorative beer bottles
A collection of first copies of magazines/papers
A collection of Times newspaper notable events
Beermats
He used to joke that he expected the family to bung it all in a skip when he went but there is some highly collectable stuff in there. As you can guess from his collecting, he was good company! |  | | |

I really ought to do that. My grandfather served and I know where he was within 50 yards on the first day of the battle of the Somme. But all I have is his letters from France (the lace ones).
Lozenge pattern was pretty much factory issue for a lot of WW1 German aircraft. The pattern itself varied between manufacturers and over time, paint availability being a factor. Do you know what type the fabric came from?
Varnished fuselages were also standard factory in many instances. Bright colours and individuality was more the perogative of fighter squadrons (Jastas) as for them individuality and in flight recognition were often a priority, especially for aces with better aircraft.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lozenge_camouflage
The RFC tended to use strut ribbons for leaders though some, such as Albert Ball might ad£ a spinner and paint the nose or add a motive or name. [Post edited 1 Mar 22:08]

Mine is GERMANIA FLUGZEUGWERK WERKE, 1918 and the piece I have is their initials. The centre is like the Mercedes logo. It's different from the standard lozenge as it is one piece placed amongst the standard lozenge of that particular plane. It is varnished. Not particularly valuable but just a favourite piece because of its rarity. I did the tour with Leger holidays. Their guides were excellent. The last post at The Menin Gate is something else. Ypres is a beautiful city with lots of restaurants overlooking the cathedral. Tyne Cot cemetery is unbelievable. [Post edited 1 Mar 23:02]

I’ve been to Tyne Cot, Passchendaele Ridge and Ypres and roamed around the area with my battlefield books - it’s as flat as can be and a knowledgeable guide is essential. A must do for me.
Germanic Flugzeugwerke is not a company I’d heard of. Apparently they were closed in 1922, having started in;1914. There’s a book on Amazon about the company that may help. It’s a great artefact and I fully understand why you treasure it. I would in your shoes.
The air war in WW1 is fascinating as is the rate of development of aircraft, uses and tactics. Talk about a dangerous occupation. | | | |

Where to start?
I have a larger collection of Le Mans slot cars that are still in their boxes in boxes in the attic awaiting the market to appreciate their collectability.
A collection of ´cased fish’ in the man room. For some vaguely unfathomable reason these are now too expensive to add to the collection.
A small collection of antique split cane fly rods which I don’t use as much now they are trendy
And a very large collection of ye olde fishing books which are an interesting insight into social history and a changed world | |

I bet the cased fish are worth a pretty penny if you sold them. Probably some age too. | | | |

I've just purchased a Picklehaube helmet and an English, German and French grenade. I bet the postman would've been careful if he knew what he was delivering!!. All deactivated of course. | | | |
