Any real interest ...I know you collect wood Alex lots of wood Yes Woody i collect that can swap you 2 tens for a twenty Frankie.
I

Seriously ........ cigarette cards. Old ones, not the post war ones.
Frankie like you I thought when I was younger I would collect all sorts.
When I am old and grey I will sit and fix em, by that time they will be collectible and I will sit on a fortune.
In reality I was already old and grey, now I am older and bald and have piles of worthless junk.
My earsight has diminished and arferitus has stopped me from doing what I could have fixed all those years hago init?
I have got rid of armies of stuff but still have a battalion of broken Dunhill lighters as well as a regiment of working ones.
A fleet of broken watches and clocks and loose movements etc. Never did inherit my dads talent for getting them going again, just dreamed I had.
A wing of old confuser stuff some of which was bloody expensive bits, now a load of clutter.
You're right it's time to get rid, we need to downsize anyway so eBay here we come init?
We had the loft reinsulted a while ago and got rid of untold amounts of kids toys and clothes and stuff that was just bunged up there I am surprised the ceilings never came in.
At least I can see where my junk is now init?

Clocks and watches would be interested in some of those for parts 
Frankie.
Frankie.What have you got in mind?Clocks and watches would be interested in some of those for parts
Watch part pens and clocks.
I don't think I collect anything, if something doesn't have a use or is useable then I don't waste space keeping it

Knives and Guns 
I'll sort some out and see what is there, probably only junk but there might be the odd good bit.
Another thing I collected for some strange reason was writing slopes, sewing boxes and cutlery boxes.
I seemed to have a fixation with peeling veneer and woodworm holes, down to my last 3 cutlery boxes now got the rest gone at auction.
Another misspent venture, the auctions, buy for pounds and sell for pennies don't do that no more init?

Didn't like the look of mine either, which is why Wilma lives in a custom stock, and had an A&M cylinder to keep her weight down
