In the attachment are pics of my complete collection of DVD videos in the series "Sharpe's Rifles", starring Sean Bean from the novels by Bernard Cornwell. Loved the books and the videos. All stored in what is intended to be a replica cartridge box from the Napoleonic Wars. The videos were originally broadcast on ITV in Britain circa 1993-1997. I learned a lot about that period from the books.

First printing of E.A Poe’s, The Raven and other Poems. A boxing glove signed by Ali and Frazier, an oilers helmet signed by warren moon, Earl Campbell and billy “ white shoes” Johnson. And my favorite, a first addition of A Clockwork Orange signed by Malcolm McDowell.

First prints of Poe? Marry me now.

A stocking worn by my partner in 2008 to our first date (she touched me with it the other day).

A signed copy of 'Amputechture' by The Mars Volta.

My prized Waterman 52 with original nib, tuned by a nibmeister.

 

[Chromaa]

I have an Air Force medal of some manner. I did not serve. I had bought some old metal ammo cans and upon opening one of them found the medal inside. The guy selling them knew nothing of it and so it just kind of came with the can.

I also have a cane sword just because it's awesome!

 

[_MissBehavingBadly_]

Four bottles of Holy Water from the Mt. St. Benedicts gift shop, purchased 20yrs ago.

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

I have a solid silver comb originally made in Tibet.

I have a small collection of gold coins.

I also have a coin collection from places I have visited.

 

[KentBloke]

I have an 80000 year old arrowhead, verified by the British Museum...and cannot remember where the hell I found it!!

 

[oggbashan]

Several million-year-old fossilized shark's teeth from the local beach. A stone-age hand axe. Several hundred 78 rpm records and the wind-up gramophone. Some date back to the 1890s.

Over 3000 view master reels and viewers.

 

[KinoKe]

A 1900 penny, given to me by a girlfriend many years ago so that I would 'never be broke'. It has been in my pocket ever since. Not sure where I can spend it though.

 

[PlanetaryNebula]

A petrified piece of popcorn that looks just like an elephant sitting on its hind legs. I keep it in a 35mm film container and I’ve had it since I was like 11.

I have a bunch of other weird shit but I was supposed to be off Lit and sleeping at least 30 minutes ago

 

[curiouschattycouple]

My husband has a whole mancave full of crap, but his favorite piece in his vault is an album of boudoir photos I had done before I met him for another boyfriend

 

[Nightspeed]

Somehow I’ve got a real Nazi flag from WW2

A stiletto knife that shoots straight out (not swings out)

The Lynyrd Skynyrd Street Survivor fire album cover

A dog with anger issues, but Prozac helps...for him, not me

I have that album cover. I found it in a used shop thirty years ago and it was in a protective sleeve with a small sticker on it. The initials belonged to an old friend who had evidently sold his collection. I asked if he wanted it back and said he didn't.

I have a chunk of petrified wood from the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. My uncle stole it and smuggled it out for about 45 years ago. He also gave me a can of Mt. Saint Helen's ash, but I lost that somehow.

I own 1,262 dice for roleplaying games. I got new ones for my birthday so I had to count and add them to the total.

A drum stick from Iron Maiden's drummer, Nicko McBrain. I caught one and some asshole ripped it out of my hands then vanished into the crowd. My buddy behind me handed me a stick. I don't know if he caught it or got it from the thief. He won't tell me...lol

Probably a few other things. I'll add them when I remember them.

 

[NorCalLoki]

Two older Japanese swords from when I studied Shinkendo. One from 1939 and the other from 1942. Both I actually practiced with and became proficient.

I also historical artifacts from a USN ship I served on. One item is a piece of the deck as I was on the commissioning crew (Plankowner).

I also own an older truck and motorcycle that are somewhat classics.
