"Let me know" is a rubric for our readers' stories. Every week we launch a survey and are waiting for your comments. The most interesting of them fall into articles and collections.
You may have read our article about strange objects that people collect. In it we wrote about collectors of shark teeth, bowling balls, rubber ducks and heart-shaped stones.
Celebrities are not far behind them. So, Tom Hanks boasts a collection of typewriters — he has 250 of them! At the same time, they do not stand idle on the shelf. Task lists, thank—you letters, script sketches‑ all this comes out from under the metal letters of Hanks' typewriters. He says the printing process calms him down.
Another actress, Reese Witherspoon, also loves rare things — in her wardrobe you can find many sets of vintage underwear. Johnny Depp prefers to collect Barbie dolls. The love for them was passed on from Lily's daughter‑Rose, with whom he played mother‑daughter. And what do you think the eccentric director David Lynch collects? Dead flies!
The passion with which enthusiastic enthusiasts search for rare and unusual things is impressive and admirable. Are you collecting something? How many lots are in your collection? How did this hobby start? Tell us and share photos!
