I will have to look this up and post a link to the article but there was a place in New York I believe that these brothers were such hoarders that they eventually died because of it.....Crushed to death by their own stuff. They had something to do with the sewing machine industry, and this all happened in the 1920's if I remember correctly.
But I am a hoarder as such with all of my sewing machines, car parts and cars, but they are all neatly tucked away, labeled and very organized.
My friends tell me I have my own NAPA store in my garage! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have enough parts here I could build at least 3 or 4 cars never leaving my garage for anything.
I even have a complete set of vintage (and a few new) catalogs in a rack just like the old parts stores used to have. It comes in very handy when I have to find parts for these kids that work behind the counter have no idea how to look up anything. I just give them a part number and its all good! Plus it helps me find what I need from everything that I have amassed through the years.
