1. Antiques
We ourselves have picked up a number of excellent Currier and Ives prints at 5 and 10 cents each. However, when a print came along with glass in its frame, the cost went up to 50 or 75 cents.

2. Autographs
Photographs of motion picture stars are generally available at 25 cents each. The photos are usually eight by ten or five by seven inches, but the signature is likely to have been printed from the photographic negative and is not, therefore, an authentic "autograph.

5. Menus
The sight of an attractive menu always makes us immediately hungry for food, but there are a great many collectors who are hungry for the menus themselves. We have some friends who have papered the walls of their beach club cabana with steamship menus. They make every effort to get two copies of each menu so that both sides may be displayed on the walls. Steamship menus are particularly attractive. The covers, usually in full color, may depict steamships, sea-scapes, hotels, motels, beaches, or animals. The covers are usually changed from day to day so that even a short cruise can get your collection off to a good start. With relatively few exceptions, contemporary restaurant menus lack distinction. The exceptions, however, make the search for them worthwhile. These are invariably large-sized and handsomely designed, with colorful illustrations on the menu pages as well as the covers. Almost invariably too, such menus are used in the so-called Hawaiian, Indonesian, and Polynesian restaurants. Incidentally, these places generally have swizzle sticks worth lifting, too. Most collectors are looking for off-beat menus and have no interest in the run-of-the-mill variety. Collectors who want to make collecting tough for themselves spurn all contemporary menus and search for the old ones that remind you that a full-course dinner at a good restaurant once cost less than one dollar. Advertisements in Hobbies and other collectors' magazines are the best source of old menus, whose chief excitement, as far as we can see, comes from the prices: for example, Prime Ribs of Beef ... at 20 cents per portion!

10. Model - Making
The ambitious, energetic model-maker starts with a porter's whistle and ends up with a railroad complex; the indolent, easy-going one starts out with 98 cents and a pot of cement and winds up, an hour or two and no effort later, with a perfectly creditable representation of a B-58 Hustler, the newest thing in supersonic airplanes.
