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?

i went to sunderland aircraft museum when i were a kidand knew more than the tour bloke about planes (quite a sad individual in childhood, not much has changed.) he gave me the tailplane from an army gazelle helicopter as a gift. it had been shot down somewhere.
i also used to have a live 27mm mauser cannon shell from a tornado fighter bomber on my shelf (always made me shudder when it regularly fell off my shelf). as well as various live bullets. also had an empty shell case form a 30mm cannon.
my mam threw them all in the bin over the years. i still have nightmares about my mauser round going off in a rubbish dump somewhere and blowing a foot-wide hole in a binman. or vapourising a seagull.
