What is the most unique or unusual thing that you own?

Question

Mine is a copy of Charles Mansons fingerprints and signature from his police record.

Answer 1

A koala made from kangaroo hide

Answer 2

Mine is almost certainly not unique, as I am sure that there were thousands printed, but just today, I found a small Old Testament printed for Jewish military personnel during the presidency of F. D. Roosevelt in 1941.
I had never seen any like it before.
It is about the same size of the small New Testament that is printed today by Gideons.
I also have a book written and printed in German, and in Germany in 1890 which I believe is titled "The Great War between Christ and Satan." My German is very limited, and this translation of the title may not be correct, but I can find no information on the book, so I feel that it must be quite rare.
I found an inlaid simulation of an existing building in Germany which Hitler commandered for a command post (it had been a government bldg, and was quite large), and he had the eagle which was an emblem of his reich placed upon it over the doorway. The inlay had been constructed by an American soldier who was in Germany during WWII. After I found the piece, my son purchased it. I am quite sure that it is definitely one of a kind, but whether it has any actual monetary value is unknown.

Answer 3

I have a "Fugio cent". It was minted in New Haven, Connecticut in 1787. Fugio cents were the first true U. S. coins because their production was authorized by the Continental Congress. Benjamin Franklin designed the coin, and it shows a sundial, the sun, and the word "Fugio" (Latin for "I fly") and is supposed to suggest that "Time flies." It is believed that the copper in these coins came from the copper bands on the powder kegs that the French sent to the Continental Army during the American Revolution. I collect coins and I have others which are older or rarer or are worth more, but my (somewhat worn) Fugio cent is my favorite because of all the history behind it.

Answer 4

My most unusual possession, I guess, would have to be the boomerang my Australian penpal sent to me when we first started writing in the early 1980's. The artwork on it was done by the aborigines there. Another possession that's not really unusual but instead rare is a BLUE pearl necklace from Japan I got from a friend in Tokyo when I graduated high school in 1966 (all my nieces have worn it at their weddings because it is old, borrowed and blue). I think I have worn it twice.

Answer 5

Confederate Currency

Answer 6

I have an authentic Joni Mitchell autograph. Her signature is as beautiful as he music and artwork. She signed it for me after a concert in the 70s.

Answer 7

My father brought back from the Korean War two vases that were made from empty gun mortar shells and hand-carved scenery with in-laid mother of pearl.

They're beautiful and one-of-a-kind pair since they were hand-carved. Difficult to believe something so lovely could be the product of war ...

Answer 8

I have some rare old soft-core porn I inherited from My Steve. I wish I knew how to sell it at a good price.

There are also some unique items among my magical tools, but we do not describe them in public.

Answer 9

I have a home-made Quidditch trunk, complete with red Styrofoam Quaffle, wingless Snitch, and realistic escape-attempting Bludgers.

Answer 10

Yyyyuck!

I was going to say myself, because I've heard it said that I have to own up to my actions. ( As in 'my mad,' etc.) Gee, here I was getting all flowery. Well, to each his own, huh? Hope you like your 'unusual things!'

(I guess Charlie is still paying for his actions, right? and won't own a thing again.)
