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 have some photos of Hitler taken at an unknown location during the waras well as a set of Mussolini & his missus being strung up and killed. They were developed from a film found in a house that was being searched during the war by the guy that gave them to me. I cant remember where he said he was posted at the time but I think he was a military policeman. They were given to me to use for a presentation at junior school when I was 10. I mentioned them to a history teacher at school a few years later and showed them to him and a girl with a similar set of Mussolini pictures had been in the paper not a year before. Apparently they were worth a fair bit and of great interest. The Hitler pictures are probably more so as they were taken in private.
