ALPENA, Mich. (AP) Whether it’s model cars, cup-and-saucer sets, dishware, or nautical-themed decor, collecting is a way of life for John Konecki.
Tucked into various nooks and crannies of his Alpena home are dozens of items he’s amassed through years of collecting.
But, of all his collections, his assortment of more than 100 salt and pepper shakers is perhaps the most unique, according to The Alpena News.
While other of his collections are packed up in boxes and stashed away, he prominently displays his condimental collection in two glass cases one in the kitchen and one in the dining room with about 50 in each case.
