All of you have beautiful and wonderful collections.  I personally dont really collect anything, but I do have a few of this and that items.

Thanks for posting!  I enjoyed the photos!  

Odd thing:  When I got old so did my collectibles and out went about 95 percent of them!

I'm glad that people get enjoyment out of their collectibles, but for me; they're really not my thing.

For fun (since we have so much time on your hands), you might enjoy googleing and google imaging "antique kitchen antiques".  There are quite a few on ebay as well.  I'll be glad to help you with pics .

At the top is a noodle cutter (green handle).  It isn't too old, probably the 40's or 50's.  Tin strainer, (diagonal) a potato paddle to pull potatoes out of a fire, a meat fork, a child's sifter, very old hand beater, my great grandmother's ice cream scoup, a cone shaped Victorian ice cream scoop with a turn handle for the little scraper inside.  A baker for corn bread sticks, spice grater, Victorian animal head muffin tin

Child's ice cream churn on the right.  30's, 40's.

These milk bottles had a bulb on them to collect the cream.  The metal is a whisk!

Wow you have a lot of old neat stuff. I like it. I have never seen milk bottle with that spoon handle on them. I have some mixing bowls that look like those. DH got them from one of his sisters.

@Nightowlz I've only seen the bulb milk bottles once before.  I've never seen another Victorian ice cream scoop.

I started a small, and very selective/expensive collection of snowglobes and lighthouses, which was ruined by well meaning friends who turned it into a wild collection of everything related to snowglobes and lighthouses.   

Since retiring, I have gradually let go of everything but the most meaningful pieces, and collecting has stopped.

I have a lot of Disney cookie jars.  In my old house I was able to display most way high up in the kitchen on a ledge.  A pain to get down and clean, but I enjoyed them.  I'm in a new house now with only a few out.  I rotate every now and again.  On the other side, there's my husband.  Where do I begin?  He collects many different things:  autographed baseballs, bats, jerseys (football and baseball), football helmets, nascar cars.  He goes to autograph shows and has things like a signed chitty chitty bang bang car by ****** Van ******.  He's been collecting baseball cards and comic books for 4o years.  This list goes on and on.  In our old home, he did not have the space to bring it all out.  But in our new home he has the basement full of it.

I rotate and bring out the seasonal pieces....my Jim Shore collectibles fall into this category....

I also have a couple Fenton cats displayed in a bookcase.....

And a couple pieces called "Laura's Attic" in my amoire ....its a girl and a white cat (its in memory of my aunt's white cat, Oliver which was raised from a tiny tiny orphan kitten that she bottle fed).....
