I don't really own this, but it's in my house...
A piece of my dad's foot. Literally. He had it amputated about about 18 years ago, and he asked his doctor if he could keep the heel bone. A recurring infection in his heel bone from a Vietnam wound was the reason for the amputation, and he wanted a souvenir, I guess? They had to go through a whole bunch of paperwork to see it it would be ethical, and I guess they agreed. I recently bought my dad's house, and he left me the deep freezer with the bone in it. It's still his, I just get the pleasure of having it in my basement. Now, I tease my step daughter that I going to make her Papa Nick stew out of it...
Now, I'm sure I've grossed you all out for the day....![]()
I have a purse made out of a Bull's "Manly coinpurse". My dad got it for me, he is king of weird souvenirs.![]()
I have two weird ones...
John Denver's High School yearbook (not his personal one, but one from a classmate).
A small bottle of dust from Lizzie Borden's house.

That's the damn creepiest thing I've ever seen.There is no way I am going to admit that this thing belongs to me. It is my DH's. It is a stuffed raccoon, standing on its hind legs, holding a bowl between its paws. It's supposed to be a candy/nut dish.This thing really creeps me out.
I'll be back. I'm gonna take a picture of it.

Oh, and I just remembered, when we were cleaning out my dad's house after he passed. We found one of those little hermit crab carriers, with a tarantula skin in it.My youngest brother had a couple tarantulas when we were growing up. I remember coming home from college one weekend and they told me that Missy(the tarantula) had gotten loose in my room.
I had visions of that Brady Bunch episode where the tarantula got into the boys room and crawled up Bobby as they were sleeping. Yikes! Anyway, we think Dad kept the skin that Missy molted 20+ years earlier. I have no idea why.
