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?

Silver cupEh-up,
I have my mother's mother's father's father's solid silver cup from the Royal Military Academy (Americans - think West Point), dated 1884. He was Quartermaster Sargeant Harrhy, later Captain, and it was the result of being, quite possibly, the best shot in the army at the time.
Oh, he was in the same regiment that was at the Battle of Rourke's Drift - as in the film Zulu. He would have known the survivors.
