[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 138793, member: 2727"] Not a huge collector but do have a small collection of old books (Maybe 10) With a bible being I think a lil over 100 years old now. I have two curial cabinets one being a half round from 1930 Maple(Not very big) but they are filled with misc figurines and I have some syringes from like the cowboy days (Clear glass with metal and old hair clippers (Manual ones) that you keep sqeezing to trim hair. Lol!! Lets see, I also have some antique pictures, One being from the 1920's of a lil girl sitting in a chair (An actual photo) I call her Sarah although I do not know her name but it is framed and I have a couple antique mirrors.
