US Retiree Sets Guinness World Record with Largest Collection of Bricks

A retiree from the USA has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records for amassing the world's largest collection of bricks. He owns 8,882 pieces - and each one is unique. The 87-year-old Clem Reinkemeyer became interested in bricks 40 years ago and filled an entire shed with them. Most are from different states of America, but there are also examples from other countries: Greece, Ireland, New Zealand, and even an ancient Roman brick over 2000 years old.
