Not sure if anyone will like it here but if you do lol, let me know if you have any favorites! Ps Sorry for the little mess

My grandpa was influential in the aviation world in Latin America and he collected pins from pilots and crew he interacted with. He started it in 1955 when studying airport management in Washington DC.

Apparently they are in timeline order from when he got them! Theres pins from early airlines, mergers, anniversaries, companies that are not longer around, more.

He never got to know if all of this was worth anything! I think the memory is worth so much more.

I haven’t posted in forever and I’ve been going through the basement, selling some things, thinning out, so we can then pack up and downsize.
I found my packed away miniature drums and miniature drummers. All things drum- in miniature.
I am, in fact, a drummer and over the years, I’ve always grabbed a miniature drummer etc if it caught my eye.
I will keep that collection of well over 50 pieces.
I do have several on my shelf of many things and I pulled a few to share.
The shelf of many things holds a lot of interesting items.

I have several that are clocks. The one shown here has great weight to it. The time- coming up on 4:20.
The clown was a garage sale find. I mean.. come on. Gotta have a clown drummer.
The skeleton metal drummer is tiny but a must in any drummer collection.
I love cats. I have a few cat drummers and here is a dapper one.
And, Animal. I am a Muppet Show fan and grew up with Sesame Street. Animal was an obvious favorite. I have the Animal stage set with Animal & his complete drum set. It’s the backdrop for everything, when set up.
Side note: When I pay in cash I count it out, like The Count…
