300 number plates !!!! Sheeeech
You is sick but then they are not hard to come by, you only need a screwdriver and quick feet.
In saying that I pick them up if I see them on the side of the road and have about a dozen or so.

As an offshoot of collecting camp ovens I have also accumulated a few old skillets, named ones like Findlay, Furphy and Harding which I use regularly, lov'em.

Padlocks, early Australian Surfmaster & Seascape fishing reels, old Imperial, ULVA & AHA beer glasses, Phantom comics and bits & pieces for the Bar. Always keen to know what others collect as well and it''s good to find someone who might collect the same as you so you know your not insane :D
I've got a mate who collects eskies and they take up more room than camp ovens but it's a great collection.
Unfortunately I have been surrounded by collectors my whole life so my fate was sealed when it came to acquiring these so called oddities, but what can I say I love being a collector & I know I'm just the caretaker for these things until the next generation of collector comes along :)

Like Astro I have a feeling for old fishing reels and rods, but they also get well used.

Have a collection of about 25 old reels (pre 1960), plus split cane and early glass fibre (Slazenger) rods.

But then again, anything which I think may at some time be useful becomes collected resulting in sheds full of stuff most of which will never get used.
The joy of being a "random collector" :-/
