For me it was from attending gun shows in Illinois when small, looking at all the greasy guns. Of course could not buy them then, time in the army and then the young family thing kept money tight. Finally did buy a correct JC #5 in the late 80's for $140, that started my collection.
Some people told not me to waste my time on "that old junk", like my older brother. What they see as junk, I see as history that reaches out to me. Now I reload for a few of them plus the more modern things I have, have a nice selection of older sporting guns too. But those old greasy guns will always get my attention.
My grail gun would have to be a M-41 Johnson rifle.
