Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

One personal, one historicalI have a handwritten passenger ticket on a flight on Piedmont Airlines (a regional US airline) in July of 1981. Not a boarding pass, the actual ticket (it was never used). I'm going to see how long I can keep it.
I also have several medals and the corporal's insignia from wife's late grandfather when he served in the Japanese Imperial Army in 1940, in China. Unlike Germany, which bans such artifacts, we're still allowed to keep them, although many people sell them to collectors.
