Red Cushman, second page, next to last row, second in from the right...

I was wondering if you know what year that model was made? I had one like that when I was a senior in high school in 1957.

In all my searching on Cushman, I've not been able to find that particular model.

oh, I geocache... collect superballs... keep them in one jar. Easy to transport.

Other than that, I collect adult toys. One silverwing scooter (600cc), 2 kayaks, 2 recumbent bicycles, 8 radio control airplanes.... and other stuff I can't recall right now.

That scooter is a 1954 Cushman highlander. They are pretty easy to find.

George,

I have a few Johnny lightning cars also. I did have a large red one that had a battery pack with wire remote control in the original box. sold it on ebay after a few years of having it.

Merry Christmas!

I do not collect much in the traditional way. I have some collections of useful and frequently needed items.

I have a large number of metal working tools and tools in general. Many are for work and some for use on my small collection of Motorcycles. I also have a small but growing collection of firearms, a couple that are just for collection but most get taken to the range fairly regularly.

I collect Lladro porcelain figurines. Haven't added much to the collection since I bought my house 11 years ago though. . I also have a bunch of Wizard of Oz memorabilia ranging from barbie and ken as the various characters from the movie, collector plates, christmas ornaments, salt & pepper shakers and I think I even have some wizard of oz dixie cups and some other assorted stuff. I even have a vhs copy of the movie signed by 3 of the original munchkins.
Now that I have the 63 Scotty I'm on a quest to collect vintage treasures to accessorize it with. I scour curbside heaps and yard sales regularly for nifty things. I recently found a great old 50's red metal Camp Cooler at the curb.....it was calling to me!!

BILLS

CRITICISMS AND EVIL LOOKS FROM MY WIFE

However, I have every hand and power tool known to man and a few I keep secret. I also have a few compliments from my boyz about the values I tried to instill upon them as they grew up (pretty much without me as I was sick and trying to stay alive, google suicide disease).

Not mentally ill as some doctors have alleged, just plain crazy according to my current doctors!

Cheers,

Gus

I have always wanted to collect retirement checks.

Finally, I found something I collect...But, it was much better when I collected paychecks...LOL...

Right now, I'm trying to collect enough food to make thru the winter...

[Rocketgirl]

vintage cookbooks. funny s&p shakers. china teacup/saucers although I'm thinking of selling those...somehow and somewhere. and after cleaning the floor tonight, I guess I also collect dust bunnies. (Didnt' know that I had more pets besides the 3 dogs).

I have a nice collection of vintage luggage and trunks. I also like to collect anything VW. Of course i have started a collection of teardrop stuff and vintage camping gear. OH and dust bunnies! Lots and lots of dust bunnies.
