I collect guitar and violin strings new and in packages of old strings. I have lots of them .

Also I buy a lot of old slide guitars and Dobro's and I love the old picks and slides I find.

Also I collect old violin bridges when I replace with new ones. That is interesting.

I see a lot of rattle snake rattles .I don't collect them!!!

The oldest case I have is a coffin one for a 1800 guitar.

I was repairing something in an old Martin with my hand in the soundhole when a large bright colored spider crawled up my arm and onto the top of the guitar. I was holding something in the guitar and it got away before I could extricate myself.
Hopefully it has not harmed the delicate ecosystem of NYC. True story, very creepy:)
best, Evan

I had a lady bring a guitar into the shop that she said had been in her garage for years, it was an old gibson. I was feeling around inside (checking the braces) and felt something odd. It was a dead rat.
I should have charged her extra. I also had to fish out all the Mr. potato head accessories out of an upright bass. Aren't kids great
