I have a WW I brass artillery shell made into a tobacco container, I will find it and post a pic.

Inside it I have a large collection of soviet pins from the 70's. Very cool.

Ha ha, you must be a guitar fanatic like me! Those are the first thing I noticed too. :D

I have an ashtray that has a small replica of an automobile tire wrapped around it (had two but an idiot friend broke one) I think it was my granddad's (he smoked cigars).

I see this in my office every day and didn't even think of it as unusual, but it is.

It a bas-relief carving commemorating the arrival of the first tractor in a communist China village.
