  Oi, I don't know where to start.... Here's a tiny, tiny sampling of my 'odd and unusual' items I've imaged, you've happened to hit the topic that emcompasses approximately 40% of my current collection (I'm not going to count standard contemporarily holed coins)..
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This is an era piece, collection bracelet.

  I picked this up at a local auction several years ago. Paid a buck. It might not be worth that much, but I like it so I guess I'll keep it.
  
  
  

  If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else.

  No, a professor that I had a while back said that the rate of decay for that particular type of radiation is fast enough to make it pretty much inert by now.
