As an antiques dealer, I've come across some peculiar pieces... and right now, I have some of the strangest:
One of the two original seating charts for the Phoenix Suns' original venue, Veteran's Memorial Coliseum; almost 5'Wx5'T, from the boardroom.
The scoreboard from one of the older Phoenix high school baseball fields, in working condition; about 13'Wx5'T.
A 56 oz. hand-turned baseball bat; early 50's, type of wood unknown.
A pair of 1940's kangaroo leather football cleats, worn by an All-American from Nebraska.
I love things like this, just odd pieces that are unusual, things I won't see anywhere, no matter where I go. Anyone else have sometime bizarre, or seen something while they were traveling, that really stood out as unique. Not necessary anything grand, just something different or relatively scarce?
