What is the strangest item you own?

Post Reply New Topic

a 1-watt blue laser, goes through batteries like nobody's business but i can light things up [ignite] with it.

Trade you for a traffic cone hat with nothing written on it.

Apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary here. I'm not the type who would find themselves with an obscure item.

The shell of a calculator that I hollowed out when I was in 5th grade.

My sanity I know it's around here somewhere.

+ 88mm German FlaK gun, which still functions perfectly fine.
+ Summer Magic/"Edgar" Magic: the Gathering cards.
+ Fetal human skull (one of the local schools closed and auctioned off items, with the remainder being thrown into large boxes for disposition. This is how I encountered the item).
+ A centuries-old manuscript on proper methods of preserving corpses.
+ An air-raid siren manufactured by Gents of Leichester, an E57 (German WWII-era model) and a Thunderbolt (I got it when the town replaced it with something "more modern").
+ A necklace made of my teeth and a piece of my jawbone.
+ A Maxim machine gun (among other weapons).
+ One of the actual prop Glamdring swords used in the making of the Lord of the Rings movies. It has a bit of wear from use on the set (I want to use it myself, but I'm too much of a collector to commit such an act of blasphemy).
+ A cat that likes to lick the insides of my ears and step on my eyes to awaken me.

...and too many others to mention. I am somewhat a collector of the unusual.

My right upper wisdom tooth in such a small container for teeth.
Some handmade christmas tree decorations shaped like christmas presents (matchboxes, to which I glued pieces of colorful paper or which I painted with my nail polishes, to which in turn I added brocade and nail decorations).

most of my stuff is in storage so I know I'm missing things.....fav. a full sized old antique sickle

the one thing I always get asked why I have it is an old pully system on a rope......I like how it looks? why don't you think it's cool?

that is a google image(i use google as a spellcheck, so I grabed the pic)
mine has a wooden handle that curves a bit more then that

a neat old record album LP of harp music, with a harpist in each channel [left and right, playing in counterpoint].

a chainmail shirt which I am constructing. it goes with the coif and glove I already made.

Animal anatomy models, a three foot model tyrannosaurs skeleton, two giant fossil shark teeth, and a jar of ocean water (I live in Ohio).

Old (Analog - type) altimeter for gliders.

I have a giant alien prop that was certified from the tv show The X-Files.

Perhaps not strange in and of itself, but the story behind the item is unique. As some of you may know, I have stretched earlobes (00g). I have a pair of hollow metal plugs a man with Downs Syndrome turned for me. They are by far the best I've ever owned.

I don't own it, or have it now, but it was in my house when I was a kid, it was my Grandfathers who had died and so was now a family ornament that I often used to handle to examine its strangeness.

It was like rock that had melted into glass and had strange colours in, including red.

It was a piece of Nagasaki my Grandfather had brought back from after the bomb.

Mother threw it away years later when she realised how radioactive it would have been, maybe I havent got Aspergers whatsoever but am a mutant?

I used to actually have a skeleton in my closet - it was the remains of a deer I found.
