Well gang, we have some news, Our member LANCE PM'd me early this morning with his guess. He stated that he kept evaluating the clues and what was guessed and came up with his own suggestion of MENUS. He wasn't sure, but didn't want to spoil the fun of the interaction if he was right.

As for my collection, there are ones that are just a sheet of paper, and others that were printed on a block of stone. I have aprons with menus, bottles, cleavers, plates, wood cutouts of different shapes, leather binders, and even rubber dolls holding small versions of menus. If you now look back on the clues you'll be able to put it all together. The uncollectible ones or location orientated ones are the large wall hung menus like in fast food places. If you think about all the places you've been you may have been exposed to a similar variety.

Thank you all for participating.

Very cool. That is an unusual collection.
I was getting close with my last guesses, but really blew it with the T Rex thingy.

[LCHIEN]

That's very good C'man. The thing that threw me most was the 1 oz to 5 lb. range of your items, I can see now a single sheet vs. a block of stone.

Finally that mystery is solved!!! And I thought finding Jimmy Hoffa was hard!

Interesting collection to say the least.

How about another? ("Again, AGAIN!" my daughters would say when they were about three or four and wanted "airplane" rides over and over).

Clue #11 threw me. I still don't see how a menu in the house contributes to my family's "well being", as nobody needs a menu to eat. There is nothing curative or the least bit indispensable about a menu. That's like saying you can't shop at WalMart without their newspaper flyer. This clue also leads one to believe that it might be less useful to oneself than to his family. Unless you're eating in two different places, I would think the usefulness would be equally divided. Open to interpretation of course, but it's pretty cryptic, to be sure. Still was fun.
