What's your weirdest/oddest possession?

[irocfan]

As it says on the tin - what's the weirdest thing you own or collect? Collect markings? Tell us about it. Ditto stuffed frogs or whatever....

[randlemarcus]

Somewhere on a shed, I have a Coco de mer my maternal grandfather brought back from parts exotic. Basically a very rude coconut shaped like lady parts.

I possessed a young girl called Regan once, until those meddling priests put a stop to it.

A piece of bacon cured by my grandfather in the 1930s

He was a butcher

It still hangs off a hook in the ceiling in the shop.....but I just use it as a lock up these days

Sorry no photo.

An Elephants Footstool

Footstool made out of an Elephants foot.
Fascinating and absolutely hideous at the same time.

I was gift to my father-in-law from a shoe company somewhere in Asia in the 50's I believe.
Also was given Ivory every time he went too.

Probably the field dressing (unused) that my Dad carried during WW2.

I liberated this book when I broke into an asylum about 30 years ago. If you wanted to know how many imbeciles there were in your town in 1887, that's what you need!
(I suspect numbers have increased)

And this tasty beverage came from an abandoned mortuary...
Its aging nicely.

I have three briefcases that were my Dad's full of it under my desk, I've no idea what to do with it.

Fanny you should say that...

[Last Visit]

A nail, which I managed to embed along the length of my index finger 31 years ago. Had to be dug out under general anaesthetic. Keep it in a jar.

[ColinM50]

Still got my grandad's WW1 medals. Including an Iron Cross first class.

I have a piece of the solar array from Hubble thats been into space.

1st world war bayonet

[Krikkit]

Some great ones here - mine is probably a brick with my name in it that a friend found...

Wow that's cool, where the hell did you get that from?

It was given to me by a friend who worked for BAE on the Arianne projects. He was given it after he managed the project that collected it from Hubble.

Every now and then I ponder selling it, as it just sits in a box in drawer and apparently they can be worth a couple of £k

[Hoofy]

Disappointing thread.

I have this:



It's shiny and says "SCREWDRIVER". Made of metal, 1.5inches along the base. No idea what it is. Very odd.
