My CE 12 and AE 16 gauge in my "man cave". Anyone else out there collect original advertising also? Not sure which hobby is more expensive!

Very cool. In addition to my beloved Fox guns I also collect vintage decoys, vintage shell boxes, vintage gun catalogs and vintage duck calls. My decoy collecting goes back well before Fox guns. I have never felt the urge to collect signage but I'm amazed how popular its is watching American Picker. I guess decoys are signage for ducks LOL.
Here is a photo of a part of my decoy collection, Bert Graves Peoria Ill.

Two wonderful collections, thanks for sharing. I collect wives. I’m still on the first one so I can afford an occasional inanimate Fox.

Love the decoy picture. Thanks for posting. On my travels looking for old junk there is an antique mall in Sagatuck Mi that has a pretty extensive duck decoy collection. I don't know anything about them but they are sure pretty. John, I am on my first wife also and that is the only way I could have a couple Foxes and some rusty signs!

"Wiedemann's" and "Fine Beer" in a single sign is an oxymoron!!
