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?

Not much, I know...but I have an actual piece of the old section of the Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona. Climbing up the campanile in 1972, before they restarted building it, I found a triangular chunk of sandstone that had fallen off, and of course I pocketed it (as you do).
Possibly even touched by Antonio Gaudi...
EDIT: Re monkeyseemonkeydo's comment above: At least for the two of us who snagged bits of Gaudi, it was either stuff that had already fallen off, or was going to be tossed as it was being replaced.
