Our town is a hodgepodge of unmatching streetlights, sewer, and manholes covers. I found this one in town and had a good laugh. How sanitary could it be. Lol! I am sure somebody collects them. They might look neat set in an asphalt driveway.

Here’s an old one I’ve got set in my patio. Only one I e seen like it. I thought I was the only crazy person that would find this interesting

The daughter of my college electrical engineering professor collected manholes. I've always thought they would be pretty cool to collect. I understand it is a pretty significant hobby in Japan.

Hard to display. I never heard that Japanese are into collecting manholes. I like the photo, maybe get 11 more and make a calender.

Portsmouth just sprung for some that have a clipper ship and fancy writing. I’ll snap a pic when I’m there. They’re pretty great

If you start collecting them - you’ll need to work on how you present it to people.

do you want to see my manhole might give someone the wrong impression haha

Show us your manholes!! LOL! As long as it's sanitary and tastefully displayed, I guess it would be okay. Technically they are manhole covers.

Would make for a pretty cool firepit cover. I might even be tempted to fry up some meat (once it was sterilized, of course)
