For some reason things from Japan seem to have a mystic quality about them that makes them impossible not to collect.  From manga to anime to ancient art forms, they all have that special quality that make you want to snatch up each one that you see.  A fairly unexpected category of collectible from Japan is Japanese erasers.  If you have never come across these before, you can find them in almost any shape or color and even in other forms like silly putty or scented erasers.  The best place to look for them is probably online at various Japan themed stores, or to find out if you have a Japanese bookstore near your home.  These are probably the best bet and will have aisles of this type of collectible.

One great reason these make for such a great collectible is that they are so cheap and small.  Unlike the otaku that you might have seen with apartments so full of collectibles that they barely have room to sleep, you could contain a massive collection of Japanese erasers within a relatively small space.  Also, they can be fun for almost anyone – they are bright, fun, and collectible and like I said before, they come in the shape of just about anything you could imagine.  Lastly, the packaging makes for a fun glimpse into Japanese culture with the decorations of brightly colored Japanese text and cute pictures.

If you do end up collecting these they might even make you want to learn to the ever elusive language of Japanese; and actually they represent a perfect place to start.  With each set of Japanese erasers you purchase, you can find new vocabulary words littered across the packaging (particularly the one for eraser) that is directed towards younger children.  As you keep up with your collection your exposure to the language will increase as well.  Soon enough, the combination of the your Japanese eraser collection and the new Japanese words you have learned will make you feel like you’ve taken a visit to Japan without leaving your home.

A very unique hobby among today's collectors is the collecting of antique pocket watches. History, nostalgia, quality and beauty make these valuable watches a sought after collectible. The antique pocket watches you will find today are a far cry from the original pocket watches of the 16th century. They're more likely to be authentic timepieces from the 1800s (if it carries the "antique" moniker; "vintage" will get you something from the 20th century).

When spring technology came along in the 1500s, weights were no longer a necessity for clock operation. Now, clocks could be portable. Personal timepieces, the possibility once scoffed at, were now a reality. Of course, these new condensed versions of the watch, were still a bit large by the pocket watch standards of later centuries. Therefore, they were typically worn as a thick-chained necklace. Gradually, antique pocket watches did decrease in size.

The 17th century gave birth to the more classic pocket watch look that collectors are familiar with today. These watches are of a less bulky nature and are more round than square. By the time these watches came along, aesthetics was a concern as well as the elements that made the watch function. Before long, gemstones and precious metals were being used in these pocket watches, as their popularity made them a signature timepiece for the classier folks.

Pocket watches are many things in one: functional timekeeping instruments, elegant jewelry, and designed to be rugged enough for a man and beautiful enough for a woman. No matter who you are or what you do in life, there is a pocket watch that is right for you. Through the centuries, pocket watches have remained a popular accessory choice for many men and women. While the 20th century advent of the wristwatch sent pocket watch popularity to the wayside, they had a long run in history as the must-have timepiece. These days, the sense of nostalgia brought on by the mere sight of an antique pocket watch makes them a desired piece for every collector.

I learn a lot as I go out hitting garage sales and flea markets.  One thing I learn over and over is that just about everything is collectible to someone and that some people get very into their collecting.  I recently saw two people get into a heated argument over a trading pin.  Collectible trading pins have become quite a popular item it seems.  There was an open display of them at a church flea market.  That is a rather unusual place to find them, but I guess someone must have donated their own collection.  I learned a lot by checking out this Second Hand Sale site.

Usually at places like flea markets, these small items would be enclosed in a glass case.  These were not and the two ladies reached for a pin at the same time.  The unfortunate volunteer sitting at the table with the pins was at a loss for what to do as these women argued for a good five minutes.  The woman who actually was holding the pin finally threw five dollars at the astonished worker for a two dollar pin and walked away.  That was the end of that, but I'm sure it was the topic of at least a few conversations later that day.
