Giant Ball of String, In American Collectors Movie

In the film, American Collectors, one of the featured collectors has a giant ball of string that has been in his family for years. Its bigger than one of those exercise balls people use instead of chairs in some home offices. At the time we shot this segment it was the biggest ball of string I had ever seen!

Thanks to "road side america" I'm discovering that there are more giant balls out there and some are made of materials like stamps, plastic string, twine and barbed wire.

The largest ball of twine resides in Darwin Minnesota and measures 12 feet in diameter.. Cawker City Kansas also has a giant ball of twine. Its only 1 foot shy of the Darwin champion and the town hosts a yearly festival celebrating this proud achievement!

Purse Collector in our Film finds the mystery of the Giant Purse

A passionate antique purse collector who is featured in the documentary film, American Collectors, hit the jackpot due to some good luck on eBay and a special film screening.

The one of a kind purse is featured in the film American Collectors. Viewing the film at a sneak preview at the 2009 San Francisco Antique Purse Society Convention, another collector recognized the purse. The following week, she emailed a copy of a photograph of the original owner and detailed information on the purse's provenance. The purse features over 1,000,000 beads with a design taken from the windows of a Church in Rueil France. It was listed as the world's largest beaded purse and valued at $250,000 in 1928. The purse had been purchased on eBay in 2005, but the collector had no idea of its pedigree.

"I knew it was one of a kind and very special, but now I know there are over 1 million beads in this purse and it is probably still the largest beaded purse in the world!" The ecstatic collector plans to find a more suitable home for the purse, possibly at the Smithsonian.
