What's an interesting item you happen to own.

I went on a tour of the Louisville Slugger company and bought a wooden bat that I used and played baseball with all through my school years.

I still have it standing in the corner and that bat is now 50 years old!

I have a 1966 bombardier j-5. One of the very first utv's. Got it from my great uncles estate. His deer blind was in the middle of a supposedly impenatrable cedar swamp. Didnt even slow it down. View attachment 81161View attachment 81162

a sealed glass tube with white powder. found at a location where nazi's feared gas attacks, 99% sure it is a powder that gets another colour if it is unsafe to take gasmasks off. i like collecting ww2 stuff, i could open a museum.

A Latin dictionary from the late 1700s I got from my grandmother, some trilobites, or some cyanide I found on ebay and decided I wanted to buy for fun. They're all great items.

My computer desk. I built it about 15 years ago from old beams and timber that I salvaged from a remodel of a home that has been around since long before the civil war.

The wood is well over 270 years old. It was the original floor of the kitchen in the home.

I milled and cut every piece. I have a new desk that is very old!!...........

How would the powder react with chemical warfare agents then?_?

would you mind uploading a picture of that thing? I'm highly interested in military history and WW2 NBC countermeasures aren't widely covered.

That's kinda neat. Not that he was a gangster, but that you own a firearm with a history.
