Amazing collections of the simplest things
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/amazing-collections-of-the-simplest-things.htmlAll the things that surround us were once invented and changed over time, becoming more functional, safe and aesthetic. Any, even the simplest items can be collectibles, because each of them has a history and many "brothers", sometimes completely unlike them. Let's get acquainted with unusual collections of ordinary things that have become the pride of their owners.
What could be simpler than a spoon consisting of a "scoop, hold and jumper"? But collectors of these cutlery will only smile condescendingly in response to such a question, because in fact, spoons are so ancient and diverse tools that a full study of them will not be enough for a lifetime.
Come on, spoons, look at this magnificent collection of potato crushers. Agree, the purpose of many items from this collection is not at all obvious.
Collecting work gloves is not a very expensive hobby. At the same time, a huge selection of products in construction and hardware stores allows you to satisfy the passion for collecting daily. There is another plus – gloves and mittens can always be useful in the household, if you get tired of the hobby.
Even a very large collection of pens does not take up much space, so such a collection can be easily kept even in a small apartment. It is also easy to replenish it – pens can be bought or borrowed for free anywhere in the world and many of them have logos and other interesting features.
The mailbox collection takes up much more space. But how impressive it looks on the wall! The scope for collecting these items is very large, as in different eras in different countries, very different products were used.
If conditions allow, you can collect not only subscriber mailboxes, but also large ones belonging to postal departments. Such a collection was collected by the Briton Steve Knight, who, by the way, also collects mail cars and bicycles.
Cutting boards, spoons and stirrers made of wood are probably at home for everyone. Have you ever noticed how diverse these simple kitchen accessories are?
Toilets are massive and bulky things, so they are rarely collected. But there are much more collectors of lids for this plumbing in the world. It seems that this is not interesting at all, but the guests of the American Barney Smith claim that his exposition of 1,300 items can be viewed for hours.
Any modern woman who doesn't have a passion for collecting will probably have a dozen bottles of nail polish at home. But what do they mean compared to the collection of German Carolyn Gorra, who keeps 11 thousand bottles of colorful women's happiness at home!
We usually throw away the tin containers of tea, coffee and lollipops, and only a select few can be lucky enough to become a receptacle for nails or other small things. But a resident of Belgium, Yvette Dardenne, treats this package very carefully. Her collection contains more than 58 thousand boxes from different eras, which make it difficult to move around the house. But there are still people who collect tanks!
