Thread: Crazy Collectibles Post 'em if you got 'em

Old concert tickets....here's two I happen to have pics for....tickets to the Woodstock Music and Art Fair...50th Anniversary in 2019!

No pic here, but a friend of mine was collecting phone booths. Really.
He had nine of them. He didn't restore or tune or anything, they were just laying around here and there in his property.

One of the was very old and beautiful. Cast iron with a top that looked like a dome of an orthodox church or islamic temple. It was just laying on it's side, under the trees, getting rust and moss. I wanted to buy it but he didn't sell. I would have made it into most beautiful trash shelter of the town. Paint the dome with a gold paint.

Then he divorced. They sold their house and left all the phone boots behind.

Coffee makers !

Got two old Cona, like this one



One old Bialetti Moka express



Another two cups italian coffee maker.



A filter holder



And my latest compulsive purchase, a 1850 depression coffee maker, ancestor of the modern Cona.







Please pray for us doomed souls..

Pray, heck. I want to sample the brew from several of those beauties.

And then, there's "La Pavoni" that regularly blinks at me, but I don't get the money to pay me this jewel yet. ^^

Thank you!

Mine is a bit newer and makes a fantastic cup when I treat it right!
One old Bialetti Moka express
Done right a good cuppa!
A filter holder
Good drip coffee is the best! Of course an espresso beats it...sometimes

I wanted one of those but could not afford one.

Riiight!! About all I have left after I sold off my collection.

I read that when Steve McQueen died he left 10,000 (ten thousand) pocket knives and over 100 rocking chairs. Different strokes for different folks.

Geezer, you're closer to me than Tharis, I might show up on your doorstep begging for a couple of cups of coffee.

Mine have so many caries as yours, is in use since 1980s and still is my everyday coffee maker! Its color disgusts SWMBO, but the Earth will fall apart if anyone tries to remove the so-well-cared decennial tar strata from it!

Mine was tainted by fires of several scout camps. It wears the marks of many good memories

Invocating the blessing of Moka Express was part of the daily morning routine ^^
