I can fully appreciate your Apollo collection, had the pleasure of seeing the capsule and other artifacts while they were in Cincinnati. At the time The Smithsonian was preparing a display for all of it, it will be the last time it will be near human touch(they had sensors all around this thing) https://www.airspacemag.com/space/destination-moon-180976724/
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Very cool thread. Love the steins and the art pottery. Mettlach produced some very well designed Art Nouveau steins and other items that seem to have been overlooked throughout the years which is unfortunate. Because steins and art pottery have already been mentioned, we will mention something different... very different.
Going solely on design, one common item has been redesigned significantly over the past thirty years... are you ready to hear this? Golf Clubs. There is something about looking and holding a set of Tommy Armour MacGregor woods and irons from the late 1930s knowing that Ben Hogan and Sam Snead likely used a set similar to this. Fast forward to the early 1960s and I suspect Jack used MacGregor Tourney persimmon head woods. And fast forward to the present day... what is being used today represents how technology has forever changed the game of golf. Today's oversized clubs look as if they came straight out of 1930s sci fi and would have been used by Buck Rogers... that is if Buck Rogers had played golf.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

My other hobby is collecting & maintaining tropical fish species. This photo shows a small portion of my aquaria studio which holds about 90 aquariums. With coins I collect U.S. history (and learn the stories that go with them). With fish I collect the diversity of life across the planet (and learn the stories that go with them). Tomorrow morning I'll be receiving a shipment of 8 different imported species to add to my collection.
Wow. I would love to have a large aquarium, but unfortunately i can't invest the time required to properly maintain one right now. maybe someday.
Here's the flown Flight Plan (in essence, the Log) from Apollo 12, the second manned Moon landing in history. The Apollo 11 Flight Plan was sold off page by page (by Buzz Aldrin) and no longer exists except as individual pages owned by roughly 100 - 150 individuals. So, this Apollo 12 Flight Plan is the earliest complete Moon landing Flight Plan in existence.
I’m guessing that cost major bucks 😆.... so very cool and unique. And God bless the 3-ring binder.

The single pages of the Apollo 11 Flight Plan go for differing amounts depending on what's on them. A page that is essentially blank will run you roughly $10,000. The prices go up from there. Most are in the $20,000 - $35,000 range, although pages with more crucial mission milestones will cost in the high 5 figures (maybe more nowadays, as the crucial mission milestone pages have been off the market for years). The Flight Plan stayed in Lunar orbit, and while (obviously) it dealt with the landing, there was a separate checklist specifically for the landing, called the LM Timeline Book, that was flown aboard the LM, Eagle, during it's portion of the mission.
A few thousand older comics, hundreds of record albums mostly from the 60's-80's, and unique original oil paintings used for old science fiction book covers.

If you find them yourself in an open field there is little doubt that they are real.

I found one once... but they are hard to find.
My father and I used to hunt for arrowheads. The best tactic is to search a freshly plowed field after a heavy rain. The plow brings them to the surface and the rain washes them off so they are visible laying on the surface of the ground.

Up until a year ago, I collected 78 rpm records. Had over 8000 of these. Sold them last year. Currently collecting tube testers. I have about 30 right now. Also Mickley family stuff, since one of my ancestors was J.J. Mickley.
I collect a lot of different stuff....like seeing things in rocks
Native American
Civil war stuff
A stir-up from the 16th century
Or a vase from the stone age, 2200 to 1600 BC....a thing that gives me great fear of accidently dropping.
Than one day I learned I had a great interest in old gold gilted buttons.
A cross made by a individual with cerebral palsy.
Or buying things like this miniature park bench where I can imagine I'm napping in, next to my make-shift fireplace and imaginary old wagon wheel.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
I collect bricks. When I walk my dog, I look for old brick and pavers. Especially the ones that have manufacturing markings on them. I do an internet research on the history of these finds. I then stack them in my yard. I also have a nice pile of rocks that I have accumulated, and store out in my woods. I really enjoy the search for these things, and it's free!
One more collection.... The post by @habaraca reminded me.... I also collect old poker chips... particularly ones with the silver centers, though I also like to find the chips from the old, famous casinos. Cheers, RickO
Rum and casino chips. I buy a local
Bottle from every country I have visited and if they have a casino I visit and always leave with a chip. I have two hutch length cabinets with racks filled with rum and three large shadow boxes with chips...I have a problem🤣

Seems I have have similar interests as a few others...
Industrial art
Art Nouveau German metalware (Osiris examples shown)
American art pottery (examples of Fulper, Rookwood, Pewabic; respectively)
oh yeah, many empty bourbon bottles!
It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.
I have a number of varied collected items that may or may not rise to the status of “Collections.” These range from the Movie Memorabilia displayed at my office to collected Dinosaur Eggs and most recently Russian Nesting dolls depicting art scenes.
Guess it mirrors my varied coin collecting interests as I have dabbled in Early Dollars and $3 gold pieces with Registry Sets for both but have a large variety of others as interests have driven from semi proof Morgan’s to Large Cents, and even Ancients, Territorials, and $20 gold pieces to include a subset of $20 Carson City minted ones along with an 1861 Paquet Reverse Double Eagle and the 1850 specimen that has been traced back through auction records to having originally been in the collection of its designer and engraver, James B. Longacre.
I collect quite a few different things. Besides coins (and paper money), I collect autographs on a limited basis, historical items (such as Titanic and small ancient artifacts) and other neat items. I also like certain movie memorabilia. My collections I keep small so I can enjoy them more by not having way too much stuff.

One of the green vase props pictured behind the actress Yunjin Kim in her role as Sun in the TV Series LOST is an example of a piece of Media Memorabilia in my limited collection.
And hanging on the wall in my office are props from the movie "Shanghai Knights" which include the swords and shield that hung on the wall of the London Tower that actors Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan pulled to use for the sword fight in the Tower. The visible crossbow was from a scene earlier in the movie when the villain used it in China to obtain the Imperial Seal that became the object of pursuit in the film.
And here pictured is the afore mentioned Imperial Seal now in my "Collection."
A piece of Memorabilia I wish had been able to retain was the three-cornered hat I wore in my role as a background actor on Hawaii Five-0. It had reportedly been a prop in the Mel Gibson movie, "The Patriot" and at the last moment as we were about to begin filming Costuming got a message that The Studio who had loaned it was having second thoughts about allowing it and the other items from being used on the TV show. Fortunately an agreement was reached.

Thanks to the many who have posted pictures of various of your collectables. It has made for a varied (pun intended) interesting thread.
Here is a photo of one of the pieces of Movie Memorabilia in my collection. It is a prop from the movie "Shanghai Knights" and is the Imperial Seal that is the subject of the search that brought the characters payed by Owen Wilson, Jackie Chan and Fann Wong to England to secure its return to the Emperor in China.

I should note that pictured above the display of the Imperial Seal are some screen shots of my character from my appearance in an episode of Hawaii Five-0. The pictured three-cornered hat I am wearing is an item of movie memorabilia that I wish I could have retained. Reportedly it had been a prop in the Mel Gibson movie, "The Patriot" and was on loan from the movie studio to the costuming department for Hawaii Five-0. This came to light when at the last minute the Studio began having second thoughts about allowing their properties to be used on the Hawaii Five-0 TV set. I almost had to turn it in before the filming began but fortunately an agreement was reached in time.
Here are some additional props from my movie memorabilia collection. The swords crossed on the shield hung on the wall of London Tower in the movie "Shanghai Knights" and were seen in the movie being taken down for use by Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan's characters for the swordfight in the Tower of London before they reached Big Ben.
