4. Bells, metal. Mostly small hand bells, about 30 of them, with the handles
being anything from souvenirs (the Space Needle) to promotional (Harley Davidson eagle) to notional (Treble Clef). Some bigger ones, a deer's head, with antlers. All the way up to a large iron ranch bell.

10. strangers' photos
It's not quite odd I know, but old photographs. The ones from the 30s or 40's (or whenever, a few are dated but I'm not gonna get up to check right now) are the most special but ones from the 60's and 70's are funnier.

12. I collect novelty playing cards
They have to be a regular 52-card deck and the face cards, at least, have to have the novelty artwork for the pack's theme. I'm not a terribly committed collector so the collection is small. My favorite is a pack of French cards with cartoons of famous film stars for the face cards and movie-related symbols on the number cards.
