Wow I wish I had cool stuff.
The only think remotely cool I think I have is the newspaper from 9/11
[QUOTE=Zorlok;36789770]I have plenty of video games, but I'll post my more unique collection. All of them were manufactured in between 1930 and 1958:

I actually own 9 more, but they're elsewhere in the house right now and I didn't want to find a spot that would accommodate everything.
Then I also have a cool Superior Electric variac that I purchased for $50 or something like that. 0-140VAC, 7A max:

Pictures of nice Honda.

That's a very clean Civic you have, and that's refreshing to see.
Also - I'm glad to see that most of you seem to like my own collection. It's certainly a unique one...but IMO it's more exciting than posting the usual video game collection pictures. Plus it's a very function collection, and it comes in handy during this time of year.

These are the only items I consider cool. Nothing else springs to mind unless you find retro console gaming interesting.[/QUOTE]
Points off for not being a Sunnyvale model, but it's still neat, nevertheless. Considering a flash cartridge for it?
Oh and not to take this off topic, but a few of the bud vases I posted seem to have signatures on them:

Anyone able to read them?
Well fuck. The coolest thing I have is a hand-cranked coin sorting machine. But it's not antique or anything. :c
I don't have a camera but I'll post a promo pic of what I do own that's kinda cool

Those old military helmets are so fucking cool.

I also got some gas masks somewhere.
A long time ago when I was younger I used to like wrestling and the last live show I went to was the PPV event The Great American Bash. Since my dad got floor seats we got to take the chairs home with us, sadly one broke because the support bar thing between the legs broke

Well, a copy of Saxton Hale comic cover signed by Gabe Newell.

I don't really collect anything of value, so for me it's my Greco-Roman gods statues. My most recent addition, Minerva/Athene:

I also collect guns, predominantly hand-guns and hunting rifles, although I don't have any photos of my collection. Also, being a competition shooter, I keep atleast one spent cartridge of all the different firearms I've shot over the years, although after a while I start to forget which cartridge came from which gun.

They are indeed from New York, first start appearing in the 1950's but started being decommissioned in the late 90's. Depending on the date, you've got an antique there, mate.

I played one of those once, it sounded really nice.

there's a handful more that I've gotten since this picture that I really like, including a petri rangefinder, fold-up instant polaroid (770 I think?), polaroid landcamera 800 (not as exciting as the big steel 110),
I restored most of them to working order, currently shooting a lot with this

BROS
purchased in rome near the coliseum iirc
So I have other really cool shit, like a huge shot glass collection from around the world from places like Britain, USA, Australia, and Dubai. A master sword from Zelda, and other super neat things things, but I can't get any good pictures since it's night time, and it's a lot to show. So I grabbed something you guys might enjoy the most out of all that stuff.
This is my grandma's (whom is 94 years old) banjolele a.k.a. a banjo ukulele. It's from the 1940s and she gave it to me since I play the ukulele. It's pretty much in perfect condition. All original strings. Original wood. Everything.

It depends how much money the city spends on traffic lights, which is usually as little as possible. I still see plenty of those kind of lights.
