If you are looking for something unique and odd to collect? Then why not consider collecting vintage things, what is considered a vintage or antique item? The item must be at least fifty years old. You can collect posters, dolls, stamps and other things.
This hub is going to give you some ideas of things you can collect. When you start collecting it makes you feel good and give you hope of knowing that your collection might cost some money one day when you decide to sell it. The best thing about collecting vintage things is that, with time item becomes valuable.

Vintage dolls
Vintage dolls are great to collect and great to look at; I love the American vintage dolls that have the porcelain faces. Their outfits are also cute, a great way to keep them is to put them in an area that is in a constant room temperature and that you should put them in a display case, every month I would suggest that you should take each doll out and dust and clean them. It is best that all you use a damped rag. If the doll clothes are dirty I would suggest that you would go and clean it before it get stains. I would also advise that you would get books on how to take care of vintage dolls and follow the process, in the book I hope it has a section that deals with taking care of their clothes.

Vintage posters
Not only can posters go up in value, but they can also be great decorative piece to put on walls. A great way to maintain your posters is to frame them. A great way for you to find posters is to go to yard sales, antique sales and auctions; there with a bite of luck you will find great looking vintage posters. You hang up this work of art in your living room walls, bedroom and even the kitchen it is all up to you and the theme of the poster. If the poster has fruit or a restaurant I would place it in the kitchen.

Stamps
A lot of people collect post stamps. They are easy to buy and also easy to keep, all you have to do is get a stamp collection book and you are good. You can inherit it or start your stamp collection it is all up to you.

Coins
Not only can coins be a great way to bond with your son but some coins can end up valuing more than you ever thought of.

Car models
Can models are great to make and collect. You will also learn about different types of cars. Be careful with the model cars because they can end up broken, it is best that you put them in a glass display case. Every two weeks it is best to take the model car out and take the dust off.

Perfume bottles
You can collect different perfume bottles and colors. It is a great way to make volume or height in a room, to make it more interesting. If you can reuse your perfume bottles, that would be great use for them. You can make your own scent and put it in one of the vintage perfume bottles.

These are just a few of the vintage things you can collect. You must remember that collecting should be something you love and should not be a chore. You also should know that it your collection becomes very large it is best that you start to store it in somewhere other than your house or sell some of them.
