Jon's Hobby Collections

Most of my kitchenware appliances are being passed down from generations to generations. Majority of the appliances have been kept for decades. As a vintage hobby collector, I do spend effort collecting these items as some of them are design uniquely and most of these items bring back good memories of the past. All of these items were originated from my grandmother's old shop, where I found most of it still remains there before moving it into a new location. There were many plates, bowls and many other cooking appliances used by my family during the good old days where my family size were very big back then as many of them are living under one roof. The number of bowls shown in this picture can make you roughly guess how many of my family members were living together in one house back then. Moving on, I also found many beautiful looking enamel trays and plates left in the cupboards. Some of them are still brand new and have not been used at all. Other items ...

This is another variant of miniature gas cylinder as the center base is much wider and shorter as compared to the previous one which I shared about here . Most of these gas cylinders were used for steamboat cooking or even cooking on board the boat. For smaller gas cylinder, you will need a special gas regulator to get this item connected and working. I still cannot find the brand of this gas cylinder. If you ever came across this kind of miniature gas cylinder, do let me know in the comments section whats are the brands out there. I am taking a smart guess that the sticker on the gas cylinder had been peeled off. At the handle of the cylinder, there are some words and markings stamped on it. The words stamped on it are used as a reference to indicate the maximum and minimum pressure of the tank. The holes on the handle are also used for tying up the gas cylinder. Overall, the condition of the tank is quite good except that the brand is unknown. This item can be use a...

MYCS is a short name for Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports in Singapore. This postcard is dated back in the year 2006. The drawing of the postcard really brings me back memories of my past as a kid as I love to draw and colour. At the back of the card, there is a sharing section where you can send in your writings to the reader. As a 90s kid, I bet some of us enjoy participating in writing and sharing our thoughts through mailing our message to the contester or reader. Back then, I wasn't a kid who likes to share things with people but I slowly grew up to learn how to share more during my secondary school days.

This card is sponsored by Stabilo back in the year 2005. The front design of this card shown below is very eye attracting and creative. There are also many other designs too. I like this card the most as it is very beautiful and colourful. I am curious to know who drew this beautiful masterpiece here. Here is a 3rd and last design of the card. As you can see there is a presence of an old CRT monitor drew in the card and this reflects how old this card is. The back design of the card are all the same for the 3 pieces.

Movie postcard are hot collectible items especially famous movies. In the post card, we will write things about the movie that we watch and sometimes, we will accidentally spoil the movie for our readers too. Oppss !!! There are many things to write in a movie postcard and sometimes, even running out of space to even writing down the address too. Your words will be all over the place and the poor postman have a difficult time to find the sender address. I have this movie postcard from the movie, "Sweet Home Alabama" which is a romance movie shown in the year 2002. At the back, there isn't any space for us to write anything except for the address of the sender. Cards like this are often attached with a stapler paper with messages on the front of the card. But quite often, we will lose the paper message during the delivery process and didn't get to see what our writers have for us to say. I also have this movie postcard from the movie "Spy Kids 2...
