It has become a new fun hobby,interest,space taking venture. Thanks all hope to hear from you all soon.

 

Fresh meat alert! (LOL) Welcome to the lunatic bin ... ehhh board, Adrian. Your fellow hoarders/collectors salute you. Some of us do furniture, some are glassies, some like ceramics, some asian bits and pieces etc. I'm a jewelry hoarder. The bits and pieces are a lot smaller than car parts, so I can hoard... collect more.

 

Welcome!
I used to have a ServiceMaster DR with a uniform arm full of qualification patches.

 

Welcome, Adrian! We'll do our best for those who share our disease (uh, passion .) And hopefully you can repay the favor when things in your professional bailiwick arise.

 

WHOOP! WHOOP!
DIVE! DIVE!

 

Hola and welcome to the Forums, Adrian.
I've been here about six months, and I have been amazed at all the brainiacs!

 

Welcome Asquad..

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks all. I definitely have a variety of stuff from tools,shoe polish tins,glassware,automobile,wwii,clothing,photos,ECT.ect. I just started to figure out son of the when's and wher from.

 

Welcome Adrian!
You have got to admire a man here to learn the difference between Sh** and Shinola. ( it had to be said!)

 

Welcome to the forums. I have some hoarding tendencies as well but I try to reassure myself that its not hoarding if it can be flipped for a profit someday. Never have sold anything out of my "collections" but may in the future.

 

Oh my goodness -- there it is -- the Kiwi polish used on my school shoes (always leather lace-up shoes) from first grade until I was a sophomore in high school.

As a young (primary/elementary school) child I always wondered about the "ox blood" (Kiwi brand) polish used on my shoes, especially because my mother's favorite soup was "oxtail soup."

 

I still use Kiwi when I can find it.(LOL) As for Shinola, I'm going to leave that one where it lies.

 

My Dad had those Kiwi tins all over his work room....used the black on my Beatle Boots !!!!

 

I had Thom McCaan GTOs.
-
I'm sure I have some of those tins.

 

Hubby still has a bunch of Kiwi's in his shoebox!!!!! HA!!! We're probably all dating ourselves...................

 

And WELCOME Adrian!!! You'll fit in just fine right here!!!!

 

We probably should date ourselves.........................we're the best.
