New to me...
I was at a Holiday party last night and made a new friend. When I told him I collect watches he told me he collects vintage 9 volt batteries. I had no idea this was a thing but I can see the beauty. ...
I want the Oakland Raiders battery . . .
. . . and will pay over market if it's from when they were in LA. ...
I spoke with him today...
As it turns out the Raiders battery is the newest of the lot... circa 1985.
Look good together on display.
Collecting batterie sounds boring and one or two might have been, but the variety here with so many, it looks good. If Mr.Hirst can charge a lot of money for a display of pills this looks way better.
Brilliant. The passion of collecting comes in all forms yet the
basic joy experienced in collecting transcends the particular object of desire.
I’ve always loved the EVEREADY 9 Lives logo with the cat.
The comedian Steven Wright had a joke about batteries: “I’d hate to be a battery...you’re either working…or you’re dead"
I imagine
This collector faces limited competition and the more he collects, the more power he has. (I couldn’t help myself)
People collect the coolest stuff...
I absolutely adore this. I still have my parents giant bowl of match books from the 1980s of all the hot restaurants in New York.
There is a collection for everything, some people love to
collect obscure, odd items. This is a collection of matchbooks, although not real matchbooks. It is a painting of matchbooks that I would love to have hanging in my house. It is from a house in Colorado. ...
