Description:
I have been
collecting gum for the past 29 years and it
is my first and main hobby. My childhood was
spent in Sevastopol, a city on the Black Sea
where seamen brought in chewing gum from all
over the world. Although chewing gum was popular
at that time it was not manufactured in the
Soviet Union and it aroused my interest. This
gradually became a serious collecting passion
but I was under the impression that I was the
only collector in the world. Now I realise that
I am not alone but I wish there were more of
us. It seems we have the most of our colleagues
live in the Czech Republic. My collection now
numbers over 26,000 different items from 95
countries. The main theme is classical rectangular
stick wrappers but I do have all kinds of chewing
gum items.
If you are a collector would you tell me about
your collection and interests. I am very keen
to have mutual exchanges. Thank you and I look
forward to hearing from you soon. |
