I like to keep some of the more interesting capacitors that I have swapped out. I tend not to hold on to old Hunts waxies as they are very commonplace and messy to keep. However some of the early ones with interesting graphics or a paper label with the makers name and component parameters are worth keeping as a historical reference. The early American "snip-outs" in particular can be rather colourful.
