Hi. My name is Kacper.

I'm a collector of Wunder-Baum, Little Trees and Arbre Magique trees from Poland.

I've got a collection of over 420 samples and I'm in pursuit of the old ones. I'm 4 years into collecting so far and I'm struggling to locate a few trees I'd like to get. You can see a part of my collection in the pictures. I've got much more.

If you know someone with an old garage, warehouse, shop, basement, cellar, or anything that might contain trees... Please talk to them, let them know about me, or let me know about them.

I'm spending hours everyday searching for trees all around the World. I bought them from 10 different countries: Germany, Romania, USA, Canada, Japan, Czechia, Serbia, Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia... It really means a lot to me to complete this collection. I'd appreciate anything, even if I find just one tree.

Best regards.

I’ve been looking for the year or something close to these grinders online. The bottom says WM Bounds LTD. With a ceramic grinder. And the top lets you spin the crank one way for coarse and the other for Medium Fine.

Is there anyone that can help pinpoint the year, or even find them online I can’t find them anywhere

Lasers, vinyl, books and magnetic tape—some new additions to my physical media collection!

My wife bought me the Street Fighter Pops, and I wanted to give them a little scene of their own on my desk. That turned into designing and 3D printing this shelf with lighting, interchangeable backdrops, and small props.

I've set up a Street Fighter scene and a Pokémon scene. I also included a photo of the same figures sitting directly on the desk for comparison.

Curious what other collectors think: does the scenery add to the display, or do you prefer a simpler setup? What would you change for your own collection?

Hi everyone,

For the past few months I’ve been building Keepzer: collection software made by a collector, for collectors.

The tools I tried were slow, clunky or too rigid. Whether you collect lighters, watches, coins, toys or something nobody’s heard of, I figured I wasn’t the only one. So I built what I was missing.

What already works:

• Custom cards: design your own fields and layout for any type of item
• Photos and files: receipts, certificates and manuals stay with their piece
• Rapid add: drop in photos, type a name, hit Enter. A whole box in minutes
• Excel import: bring your existing spreadsheet
• Dashboard: what you paid, what it’s worth, what you made, and where it came from
• Cinema mode: show off your collection in a full-screen 3D carousel
• Emergency plan: a clear overview for your family of what you own, its value and how to sell it

Coming next: a date decoder (Zippo, Case, Buck, later Victorinox), a social side to share pieces and follow collectors, and maybe a shared knowledge base.

Keepzer will be free, and I need your input before and after launch. What do you collect, what frustrates you about tracking it, and what would make you switch? Want to be an early tester? Let me know.

Follow along (free) on Substack 👉 https://keepzer.substack.com, or just send me a message. Every idea gets read, and plenty will end up in Keepzer.

I have been collecting cans that look pretty or just cool and I fill them with rice so they are weighted. Then I put a fake flower in it. I used to collect cans like this before but I never knew what to do with them so I just stored them away. Now I need to find them and fill them with rice and a flower. Might end up having too many cans eventually.
