My "uncle" (just a family friend in reality) had the best collections ever. He had thousands and thousands of vinyl 45s in his garage. He had 8 pipe organs in his house. His garage and basement were overflowing with WWII memorabilia. He had filing cabinets filled with pistols from every nation, C-rations, K-rations, uniforms, sabers, daggers, practice bombs and practice torpedos. It was amazing. He had the flag mast from a boat (something small, a patrol boat maybe?) in his back yard that flew the flag every day until he passed away.
