nancy drew books

stamps

those little fun erasers that you put on the end of a pencil. they really were not good erasers, but they were fun to collect and trade. you could buy them at our school bookstore.

45s and albums

dolls from all over the world. every time my parents traveled out of the country they would bring my sister and me back a doll for our shelves. we were not allowed to play with them.

Yes, I collected arrowheads......my collection amounted to two! One was given to me by a family member and the other came from a very old neighbor who had led a very colorful life. He was one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. It's small white arrowhead and I treasure it to this very day. The old neighbor had also worked on one of the old whaling ships and had many photos of harpooning, and the dismemberment of the whales, including them rendering the blubber. Being a horse lover, I also collected ceramic horses. Great topic, thank you.

I had Ginny dolls too. My grandmother bought them. I never collected them, they just seemed to be there. Go figure......

@ECBG. I also collected horse figurines but most of mine were hand carved wood. Now I have about 30 from The Trail of the Painted Ponies.

Avon bottles. Some were really cute. I still have one of a dog that was mine when I was a child.

Marbles. LOL!!! When we lived in Hawaii I bought marbles at Toyland every chance I got.

I've had these since the mid to late 60's.

I still have my Ukulele too.

My dad was Air Force so had to pay for shipping when moving over a certain weight so we always had to throw our stuff away.

We were never given any cash to buy anything. My parents would buy us what we needed, but if it wasn't needed, we didn't get it.

I still have my collection of Girl Scout badges, birthday cards and a " slang book" signed by best friends. I collected things that were meaningful to me and still have them.
