A simply beautiful Roman military belt decoration, with a museum-quality patina, dated from somewhere in the range of 100 BC to 100 AD.
A Sunkist bar fridge shaped like a can of the product.
(Not from when Sunkist was revived recently, this was the early nineties).
It’s cool.
And also a Mars Bar Fridge, and not the 2002 one, it’s also from the early nineties. This isn’t so weird in itself, it’s just having two fridges I didn’t pay for within about a year that’s weird!
An alarm clock, dated by an antique dealer between 1820-1840. And it still works! I didn’t realise they were invented so early.
Also a Jurassic Park type mosquito in a piece of amber.
1- A “Last Supper” floatie pen–the bread and wine float from one end of the table to the other.
2- A mirror mounted on a large frame with deer hooves pointing upward in each corner. Found it at a consignment shop and had to have it because it looked strange. A friend of mine commented that with the hooves pointed up it looks like the deer is giving you the finger.
3- Four foot tall lamp with golden cherubs cavorting under a tree whose top is made of dangly crystal prisms. The shade is hourglass shaped, and hot pink with white fringe. Another consignment store treasure!.
4- Mork and Mindy FM radio shaped like an egg (Naa-noo, Naa-noo.)
That’s all I can think of at the moment, but there’s loads more!
I used to own a can of Coke which was completely empty (without being opened!)
but its gone now.
Oh god, Pergau, you have a thereman??? A Victor Theremin, I’ve always wanted one of those !!! All I have are some wooden flutes
and piccolos (myers type) and a fipple flute with eight keys.
I have a walking toaster. You put the slice of bread in vertically through one side, It walks though and gets toasted and comes out the other side. Theres a little circular window that you can see the bread getting toasted through. No idea on the date for this thing but I know it’s very old.
Wow, that makes my 16-sider look downright normal. Wish I could find the darn thing. It’s somewhere in my apartment…
I’ve also got a set that’s chiseled out of quartz.
I guess the 1960’s TV test pattern generator’s a bit weird.
And the Ferengi Makeup kit.
Rilchiam - Ethilrist has it right. It’s really a 6-sided die, but with 2 faces each reading 1, 2, or 3.
Handy for D&D, which is why I have only 1, instead of the two I used to have.
I used to have the lower two-thirds of a concrete statue of St. Francis from a church prayer garden. The top part mysteriously went missing, so my then-boyfriend and I asked the church if we could have the rest. It just seemed like it would be a cool thing to have.
What’s an oosik?
Yup, zen has my vote for the weirdest thing owned.
The skeleton seems like one of my lesser weird items, I mean you can buy them from Carolina Biological supply (admittedly those don’t come with a medical history).
The best thing about this one was that it was cheap and it’s in a pretty cool leather covered wooden chest. I bid on it at a silent auction (it was a “mystery box”, no one knew what it was) and only paid $50.
The estate was the doctor who treated her and paid her family for her remains (weird).

An empty, sealed fun-size Twix bar wrapper. Somehow the wrapper was sealed at the factory without including a candy bar inside.
I threw it away when I moved, but I used to have a ticket stub from the Chicago public transit system. That wouldn’t be so unusual, except that I don’t live in Chicago. I live in Texas, and I’ve never even visited Chicago. This is how I got the stub: I bought a book about the Holocaust for one of my college classes. The university bookstore had only used copies of the book available. The book had also been assigned reading in a class at a university in Chicago, so my university bookstore had received a large shipment of used copies of the book from Chicago. The previous owner of my copy had used the ticket stub as a bookmark.
A collection of copies of Antoine St.-Exupery’s “The Little Prince” in various languages. I have copies of the book in English translation, in the original French, and in Spanish, German, and Latin. I’d like to find copies in Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, and Arabic, too.
I also own copies of various obscure books that only a specialist in medieval literature could possibly be interested in.
Did she have some kind of deformity that made her remains interesting? Otherwise, I really don’t want to think about why the doctor wanted them.
A beekeeper’s hat. I don’t keep bees.
A fully illustrated encyclopaedia of a culture which does not actually exist. Written in a language which also doesn’t exist aside from the book itself. It’s from Italy, and is a fairly rare art book. I forget the name right now.
