Harry Sperl — known the world over as Hamburger Harry — has turned a lifelong obsession with the humble hamburger into one of the most extraordinary and joyful collections ever officially recorded. Based in Germany but verified at Daytona Beach, Florida, USA, on 20 September 2014, Harry’s collection of 3,724 hamburger-related memorabilia items was officially certified by the World Records Authority as the largest of its kind anywhere on the planet.

From burger-shaped telephones and pillows to rare promotional items, vintage advertisements, artwork, clothing, and collectibles spanning decades of fast-food culture, Harry’s collection is a dazzling tribute to one of the world’s most universally beloved foods. The meticulous physical verification process — counting, cataloging, and authenticating every single item — is itself a testament to the extraordinary passion and dedication that defines true world-record collecting.

The World Records Authority officially recognises Harry Sperl for this remarkable achievement. His collection stands as an undeniable place in the annals of global achievement — a delicious and delightful celebration of creativity, passion, and dedication.
