what is the most unusual thing you own?
What s the weirdest, unusual thing that you own. I have some stuff that's defiantly not mainstream and was wondering how it compares to your collections or pieces.

A few dead people in my basement...

might have to be..
the mop with a sword built into the handle. Or the sword with a functioning cap and ball pistol attached to the guard. maybe the Theremin. or the corpse that sits in my rocking chair. http://wolfetone.com/scare/1.jpg |
I must have had serious jet lag when I bought this in Venice the day after 9/11.

A real human skull I lifted from a museum when I was really immortal and fearless.

Thats some bad juju, man.

Gus.
Well..., Gus owns me. |
Rick! That's funny. I can't imagine my skull one day ending in some guy's garage!
I have a bunch of bear skulls - probably pretty common in a hunting household and the bears probably could imagine that, if they were having the cognitive ability. The only true collectors item that's not super common that we have is a nice early 20th century black forest kuckoo clock. In itself a great family heirloom, but what makes it special is a manufacturing error. It literally strikes 13 instead of 1 o clock. It comes from a family branch that had a store. I am sure they ended up with it because it was a customer return ... G |

I used to have a very realistic fake skull that I had stashed in a nook in the basement of my 200 YO house. It was not obvious, but it was relatively easy to ''discover''.
A lot of people thought that they were informing me of a shocking and important find. It was really fun, until one day my wife got rid of it. Women. Can't live with them, Can't stash their empty skulls in your basement. |
Several boxes of really neat and diverse Indian artifacts that were found individually by my wife's Grandpa while working his farm here in Ohio. It would be interesting to know the value, but it truly doesn't matter, we'll never sell them, and will hand them down to our grandchildren someday.

A 30ish inch Chinese gong. Everyone should have one!

Probably the copper bee smoker.
It was given to me 42 years ago after I helped a guy move. I thought I might give it to my brother in law. It was grungy and one of the bellows boards was cracked, so I started to clean it up and realized it was made of copper instead of the usual steel. I made a new bellows board for it and it sits on a shelf. I have never kept bees. Best Les |
Many unusual things.
Most were, at one time, legal. I did keep some of my grandmothers old wigs for scaring small children (my own). |
4 Unimogs and one time a Zamboni for the ice rink.

Hmm, the most unusual thing that I own. Well, we, the missus and I have a crystal ball. It's made of quartz crystal and about the size of a basket ball. I have a very, VERY large light bulb that was used by Japanese fishermen to fish at night. I probably have some other odd stuff from Japan roaming around. The missus has a pig skull and a fake, educational, anatomical female pelvic bone. |
