What is the most unusual or unique thing you own?

How about a book titled The Effects of Nuclear Weapons put out in 1964 by our govt. Has lotsa pictures of damage from the Japanese bombs and test bombs in Nevada and other places.

It has a little round computer, like a slip stick, where you can calculate what temperature you will reach if you're 500 ft from the detonation point of a 30 kilo nuke device. All you need to know to build a bomb-proof shelter for when the SHTF.

Dang, I didn't know Sarah Jessica Parker was on the site.

I've got a couple brass tanks, a Sherman and a Stuart, my dad got while in the military. I think their used on the sandboards while doing manuouvers so the brass knows were everybody is. He also brought back a 14" dia brass bell from Korean when he was stationed over there. THe neatest thing is a model ship of the Santa Maria he built from scratch back in '64 or '65.
My Ma has the letters from her brother wrote to the family while in WWII. His first letter when he arrived at Basic, till the notice from the Navy about him being lost as sea. His last letter that arrived after the notice from the Navy is still sealed. Granny never opened it.

I decided that my Blasting Machine wasn't cool enough to keep up with all the cool things you guys are posting.

So... here's some pics of my 1" Gatling Gun Cartridge from around 1868. These massive guns were produced in 6 and 10 barrel versions!

NEAT! I guess I have never seen a cartridge constructed that way before. That thing had to make a hell of a bang!

I have 1 penny from each mint, from each year, in good or better grade from this date back to the civil war. My grandfather made me the collection and I've kept it going for a few years now.

Thats one heck of a collection! You may get to retire early with that one.
