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?

A conker from the Von Trapp houseWe went to visit the house where they filmed "The Sound of Music." It's all private residence-y and no admittance-y now, but it's right next door to (and shares a driveway/gate with) a business conference centre. So I stroll up to the security guard and ask directions to reception. Then walk away, and we suddently (and entirely accidentally, I'm sure) find ourselves patting the stone horses used in the movie (the bit where they fell in the lake). As a keepsake, I picked up a conker from the grounds of the house, which now sits in my living room, next to the pottery from Pompeii.
