The cutest cat in the whole world ?

My Great Uncle's whistle he carried at Passchendaele and other battles in WW1.

#3

A bathroom trash can made from an empty cardboard box. I even moved it from my apartment to my new house. I think nothing about dropping $8 on a latte that'll be gone in half an hour, but a $5 trash can? Out of the question.

I have a small (about an inch long), mangled, sharp piece of shrapnel that a person mowing their lawn hit, it flew across 3 lanes of traffic and a median strip, through my car window and into my ribs.

#7

A piece of shale I found while coming back down the mountain. My brother and I were exploring an old gold mine at the top, and on the way back down, we saw a small ledge along the trail that looked like a great spot to climb up and take a break. We climbed the 20 or so feet to the ledge and got comfortable with our backs to the wall and feet dangling. I reached behind me for a piece of shale to put my name and date on. I wiped the dirt, and it already had one. Guys name, and April 21, 1941. I still have it. Left my own piece there for someone else to find some day.

#8

I own an official Nanosecond. Actually, it is a section of yellow stranded 1980’s plenum cable that was cut to the exact length that an electron would traverse in one nanosecond. It is signed by the late Rear Admiral Grace M. Hopper, one of the most famous and accomplished computer scientists. She was a member of the Harvard team that discovered the first computer bug.

A walking stick I decorated with a specific set of runes

#10

Probably my favorite baby blanket. It stopped being made a couple years ago and there weren't many produced so I have one. That must be pretty special. It's my comfort item, I only use it when i'm really stressed.

#11

One of those blue mailboxes that the post office uses to collect mail across the city. It was made the year I was born and had been stationed in the town where I grew up. I acquired it through not-illegal means (it was in a pile of stuff headed out for scrap metal due to minor damage) and I've had it for something like 30 years. Use it for storage :-)

We still have an old black wall mounted rotary phone that is old enough that you can’t even change the cord from the phone to the handset (you could on newer ones).

The nest of a family of Firecrests.

They stayed in our palm tree last summer and we were lucky enough to see them fly the nest. The recent storms have dislodged the nest and I now thinking of somewhere nice to keep it. We don't often see Firecrests in the UK so we were very privileged to have what may be a once in a lifetime experience.

i have always had a fascination and desire to learn about japan, particularly their history and culture. a friend of my mom knew of this and when i was about ten years old he brought back two things. one was an ivory tusk that had a complete tiny village carved on it. you could move the people and animals around the village by the little pegs on the bottom. the shoji walls of the houses opened and closed. the whole thing was probably around 14 to 18 inches long and was held in a frame designed tohold it securely. sadly, ihave no idea what happened to it as one day it was just missing. the other item(s) he brought back was a collection of the seven lucky gods or, actually, 6 gods and one goddess. they are about an inch or so in height and are very detailed, also carved out of ivory. those i still have and consider them very precious to me. now, at the time these were given to me i was completely unaware of the poaching of ivory and the eventual ban on harvesting elephant tusks. so, i know the fact that i have anything out of ivory is rare in itself. i have vacillated between keeping them or getting rid of them because of this but sentimentality has always won. oh, there is one other item that i would love to find out what they are. they are made of metal and have my ancestor's initials on them. very old. they kind of look like an empty spool of thread so i think they may have been a type of button or fastener. i put this info out there in this post just in case someone can tell me what they are.

I have a plastic figurine of a fox going sking that I received as a gift from Belarus when I was a teenager in the early 90's. Outside of that I have a clock sitting on my desk that was given out in '95 for getting a plant rebuilt in 6 months. I think a couple hundred were given out, not sure how many still exist today, but I have one and it's fantastic condition.

CalJam 2 picture, with Bob Welch and Heart rocking the 300,000 stoned, happy attendees. Taken from above stage, with Polaroid instant camera. I was the only one working the risers that day, so it’s truly one of a kind.

In a very small box of treasures, I keep six links of my cherished 14k gold box chain bracelet, a gift from my sisters for my 40th birthday (I'll soon be 60). Of course I still have the bracelet; I rarely take it off. The links were removed due to dramatic weight loss.

#51

My left testicle

#52

An elephant's femur in my living room, it's over 3 feet tall. My grandfather killed it with a long bow in Africa in (I think) the early 1960s. He was a professional archer and is in the Archery Hall of Fame.

#53

An amalgamation of bugs. Pretty much its a bunch of taxidermy bug pieces making one an interesting creature.

#54

An old glass milk bottle from what used to be my grandparents dairy farm. Depending on size they are worth $250-$400 in my area because they are ‘locally famous’ and I’ve seen people pay over $1000 for one at auction! I’ve needed money several times over the years but not once did I ever consider selling that bottle, it means way more to me than money. Also my grandmothers real double strand pearl(one of my birthstones) necklace that my pap gave to her on their wedding day.

#55

A 1954 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. One of my roomates got it for me for my birthday a few years ago. Works perfectly and I managed to find some ink ribbons on amazon! I have plans to write short horror stories with it.

A coffee table made by my great uncle from a piece of drift wood he found on a beach when he was a child, he kept it for decades until he became a carpenter and then had a use for it. He gifted it to me when I bought my first house and it's pride of place in our front room...despite not fitting in with the rest of the decor, I absolutely love it!
