Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
For you license plate collectors. I found this while I was looking for something else. It's a list of the license plate color combinations for the year 1932. There were only 48 states at the time, so no Alaska or Hawaii plates.

Old film cameras can be a lot of fun, especially when they work.
These use 120 film.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Wow, Joe, that thing looks brand new. I looked at the name and found a small amount of info. Based on what I read, it's gotta be prewar, right?
I failed to comment on your earlier post and pictures of fishing gear. Interesting things, in great condition and beautifully photographed

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Thanks guys.
Ike, the first camera is a Welta Weltax. 1938-1947ish. Highly thought of camera. It as an accessory (a mask) that allows you to shoot slightly smaller images for more pictures per roll. Ordinarily it shoots a 6x6 cm negative; with the mask you can shoot a 6x4.5 cm neg.
The other folding camera is a Zeiss Icon Super Ikonta. 1937-1955. 6x6 only.
I have not shot a whole roll of film through these cameras yet and I am waiting in the mask for the Weltax from Germany.
I am really enjoying the change in photography and learning along the way.
Although I shot film for years before the digital cameras became available. I'm a little rusty.
Thank you very much, Ike.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Nice camera's Joe
Let us know when you post knife pictures from your film cameras.
How close to your subject can you get?
I still have my old Olympus 35MM OM 2 from the late 70s.

Thank you, Dan.
I can't get very close with these cameras. 3.5 ft. I hope I can show some results from this effort but it may take a while.
You have a very nice camera and accessories there. Do you still use your Olympus?

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Thanks Joe.
I have not used the Olympus for years, however I let a friend borrow it a couple months ago. She participated in a photography course that required "Black and White" pictures. She did very well in the course and when she returned the camera to me she included a couple rolls of new film.
I"m also a little rusty on my older technology. I'll see where it takes me.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Terrific.
So there is a dear friend in each of you. You're both very kind and this how things take off.
I was reintroduced to the "Sunny 16 Rule". Check it out.
I felt like it gave me a boost.
I hope you shoot some film.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Speaking of cameras, here's something most people don't know about me....
I have a photographic memory.
Problem is they stopped selling my film about 30 years ago.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
David, that is an awesome collection of challenge coins. I'm going to have to get me this display case...I've got approx. 35 coins I've collected during my Navy tenure and they're in a drawer right now. Here's a few I've collected.
Thanks for showing your collection.

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
I have a white-on-black VA plate. I think it's from 1948? I think. Hanging up in the basement right now.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 3:03 pm For you license plate collectors.

I've noticed some states, like New York for example, still use the old color combos to this date. Any others?
Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
We visited our son at the house he bought outside of Lafayette, Macon County, Tennessee, United States. This is limestone with a nice brachiopod and a partially exposed one and others was sitting along the fire pit. No telling where it is actually from or who left it there, but it may well be a local find. Richmondian (Upper Ordovician) strata in the Central Basin of Tennessee. Ordovician Period beginning 488.3 million years ago and ending 443.7 million years ago.
1 5/8" w 4.2 cm x 1 1/4 3.2 cm high Brachiopods- Rafinesquina ponderosa- showing one side- Ordovican. also a partially exposed 2 cm wide.
The slab is 5 1/4 wide x 8 1/2 in tall. 2 1/4 in thick

Re: What Else Do You Collect Besides Knives?
Besides Knives (which I haven't bought one in months) pens (not really expensive ones) but I try to get them to write perfectly.
I do have an old pen pencil set that was my Grandpas.
Watches, have a few expensive ones and many cheap ones. Have one my Grandpa was given when he retired from Armco Steel Works. It is quartz but I can't change the battery. I have a fairly old handwind Timex.
Coins (still irks me that Dad sold my Framed sets of 20th century type coins both obverse and reverse for $150.) Always checking 1983 for a copper version but probably will never find one. Have a bit of silver coins but not enough to really make a difference.
Lately besides making up boxes for Trish I make up perfect rolls of Wheats and 60s coins.
Diecast cars. Have some early Matchbox and a fair number of modern stuff that caught my eye.
Trying to get back to flying RC but crashed one hard and haven't the nerve to try another.
Old tools. Have an old Craftsman pliers and a hammer from Grandpas time period.
