| My collection puts me in touch with people all
over the world, Bausch says. It�s a delight to
be a part of a whole network of collectors.
How narrow life must be without a hobby! Bausch began to widen his perspective through collecting early in his youth. I was encouraged and supported in my collecting by my parents. As a boy I always collected; I was the nickel and-dime guy that took crocks and snowbirds and other curios that nobody else wanted at auctions. My collection of automobile memorabilia and toys began when I was 14. I was fascinated by a picture of a Ford Model T on the back of the Ford Times Magazine. Soon After, I purchased my first antique car, a 1913 Ford, which I completely rebuilt. From then on, I had a desire to collect, which I was never able, or willing, to shake.
Some of David�s areas of interest include
automotive art, advertising items, ceramics,
photographs of brass era autos, and sheet
music or records with auto songs. |
