An interesting area of collecting is in giant, oversize display items from retail stores and schools and the like. The most common are things like giant pencils, pens and slide rulers but I have seen tons of other cool "giant" stuff. Baseball bats, golf clubs, tents, fishing poles and reels, you name it. If they were sold in a retail store, there were probably big display versions of the objects. The neat thing is they dont have to be really old but the older the better.
Here are a couple items we have that are pretty neat. The first is a Bjorn Borg tennis racquet from the 1970's. It is a giant version of the real thing, even down to the gut strings. It is 53" tall x 18" wide x 3" thick at the grip. It is available here.
The second item is a giant Airwalk shoe from the 1990's. It is 28" long x 11" wide x 7" tall and is available here. They would display wonderfully together. The perfect gift for the sportsman or woman.
