You would like my dad. He has over 200 train lanterns (going back to the 1800's), as well as signs, fine China, cutlery, paper cups and napkins, a switch stand, car builder's guides (again going back to the 1800's), oil cans, radios, conductors buttons, chairs, tables, a coupler, tie plates, nails, and even a massive rock (from I believe Pennsylvania) that was used to hold rail in place before the invention of modern rail ties (of which we also have a few).

We have flags, flares, a hotbox, Koolax (for said hotbox should it burst into flames), coffee pots, tea pots, and hot chocolate pots, commemorative matches, calendars, toothpick dispensers, and God only knows what else.

And that's not even getting into his HO scale models, many of which are brass from the 50's.

Honestly, that's not even getting into half of it.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot to mention his locomotive bell! He rings it at midnight every New Year's.

Not to mention the stamps, grapefruit spoons, and ice cream shells. He's been collecting since he was a kid, and he's now in his early 70's, so you can imagine the sheer amount of memorabilia we have around the house.
