Do you collect antiques?

Like you wouldn't believe.
Almost everything I use is from 1837 to 1970, excepting things that did not exist then. I like to have the first and last of things that embody movements in the arts, sciences, culture, metaphysical realms, etc.

Small antique glass bottles... mostly glass medicine bottles.

I don't collect but I have acquired some things over the years.
Commemorative stamps
First addition books
Some paintings
Some glasswear
Some china
etc

I dug through my perfume bottles to find something for slide guitar. It had to have concave sides. The useful vertically ridged concave example I found turned out to be called "Ode" from Guerlain Paris. You gave links earlier. Do you trade and sell, or just collect? Know of any good sources in violet glass?

I would never trade or sell anything I have collected, I couldn't bear to.. I keep everything. I have an old perfume bottle too.. unfortunately, it has a paper label and it's hard to read the company... Something in London. I keep an eye out on ebay, and a friend's mom sells me some cool pieces sometimes. (she sells old things that she got at yard sales for pennies at flea markets for a lot of money)

some antique medical equipment- i haven't looked in a couple of years but i collected for a while.

I collect old money, but I don't know if that counts

I don't collect things as such, although I've got a couple of family heirlooms. My dad has got loads of stuff which have been handed down from his parents, grandparents, etc, and some if it is pretty valuable. I expect that I'll get it all when he dies, and then I'll probably sell it because I've got nowhere to keep it (unless I become considerably richer in the meantime).

Nope.

Not as such, no. I have quite a few items which could be called "vintage", very few which are old enough to be antiques. I don't collect anything based on age. The coolest antique thing I own is an 1890 atlas.

I have just started collecting older pieces of milk glass.

I don't collect anything. I like nice furnishings in my home but I don't want to have actual valuable antique objects because I don't want the responsibility of taking care of them, and I don't want to deal with my friends not taking care of them either.

Consider them their own foundation. Some of them might have to be sold to support rent for the rest. Loan them to a restoration project if you can't afford to showcase/use them yourself. You'll never be able to replace things that have been in your family, and many of them have left their heritage on you or any children might have. I have my great-grandmothers oil paints and a 250 year old cuckoo clock from my German dad that I repaired as early as age 7. I became an artist and engineer.

Not on purpose. I love old stuff.I have an old cast iron bed and a dresser that is really old. Oh yeah! I have a big cast iron pot that they used to hang over a fireplace to cook in. (I still cook in it.) I know that it's very old.

No, but I liked to. The mansion in Austria (I swear, it will be mine when I grow up, even if I have to kill my whole family), that belongs to my grandfather this moment is full of those.

I don't collect anything. I do have a few antiques, but I haven't "collected" them, they are inherited from my grandmothers.

You too? Mine's a castle in Krefeld Linn, WestPhalen Germany (so said my dad long ago). I'm not sure which castle. I just started researching last night. It might be the local art museum now which bears my family name.

I believe I just became a 3D Viewmaster Reel vendor on eBay. I bought stuff and will have to recoup my expenses. I've put together a database to keep track of dealers and auction prices.

Only my ex's

Old books.
