I emptied a couple of spray paint cans the other day and went through my usual ritual. Get the marble out. Normally I use a clamp and clamp the nozzle down and let it spray until all the whatever is gone and then hacksaw it open and collect the marble. The other day I got the bright idea it would be fun to shoot the can with my pellet gun to let the whatever out. Well I didn't stand back far enough on the first can and I am still finding red spots of paint on me! The second can I got back a lot farther. I clean the marbles up and put them in a old coke bottle I have on a shelf in my garage. Been doing it for years, going to have to find another bottle pretty soon. I know crazy, but it is one item my grandkids are arguing over who gets it when grandpa dies...
I also collect old pocket knives that have advertisement on the handles. They use to be free giveaways when I was little, now they are getting expensive. Most I have have been given to me by friends.
Got me wondering what odd things any of you collect?
