If you had to choose one piece of Al Capone’s furniture, the liquor cabinet is easily the best choice.
What's the most interesting thing you own?

There are two large side by side drawers on the bottom, which were used for ice. So what do I use it for? Storing seasonal decor like my pumpkin people, 4th of July pillows, Easter bunnies, etc.
My sisters in law all got some really great wicker pieces in the Old Florida style.
Well I hope someday it is passed on to me, my Uncle has a Japanese flag from WWII that my Grandfather took off a Japanese soldier in the Philippines.
I also have a test tube filled with sand from Omaha Beach.
I have my original Han Solo & R2D2 action figures and my Darth Vader action figure carrying case from 1978.

I completely understand the thinking of the animals..........after Hurricane Ivan I spent ~10 weeks in a nursing home and they kept me DRUGGED up. I was getting one of these on a rotation every 2 hours: 100mg of IV Demerol, a 40mg oxycotin, or 2 10mg percosets. Is it any surprise that I was a functional junkie up until last year (off everything now)? But hey, I didn't care that I was hurt, in a nursing home after losing everything I owned in Ivan, or missing my first semester of grad school at FSU...........so I guess that's something.
My mom gave away a pretty extensive collection of Star Wars vehicles I had, unbeknownst to me, when I was around 12.
She had the temerity to bring up my disgust about that recently, so I googled what an Imperial Shuttle will fetch these days...
Thanks..........it was time. Waiting for the day that spasms return to "normal", but they said it could be 18-24 months.
Nothing terrible interesting.
My grandfather's Winchester Model 63 that he ordered in the 30s via mail order. (oh the inhumanity).
I have a couple chunks of the Berlin Wall that I hammer n chiseled myself right after Checkpoint Charle came down.

Very cool.
I still have my childhood passport with a Checkpoint Charlie stamp. I should have included that.
Used to have a rock from the Eagles Nest, but it disappeared during a dozen+ moves.
I used to have a big chunk. Gave pieces away over the years, plus moving. Now am left with a softball size.
My grandfather's WWI dog tag. My dad's WWII seating diagram for the Nuremburg trials. He got to attend one day of the trial while an Army soldier. A big clam shell my dad collected while on an atoll in the Pacific for a year while they prepared for a nuclear detonation. And a ring they gave the soldiers on the island.
I have my dad's certificate from when he crossed the equator in the Pacific during WWII. He went from being a lowly pollywog to a 'trusty shellback' after completing the initiation ceremony. The certificate is signed in ink by King Neptune, Davy Jones and other denizens of the deep and was printed in color. It's faded a lot but you can still read it.
As far as items I've gotten on my own, I have a Garbi Model 101 shotgun, 16 gauge, that took many hours of hand labor to produce. It's a lower priced model as far as Garbi shotguns go, but it's still a beautiful gun and incredibly well built.

I have my father's Sortie Log and interesting handbooks from Vietnam, and a Rogers Hornsby signed baseball.
my bizarro dog and my skateboard - two most interesting things these days.

I have a nazi armband and flag taken after a battle in ww2 from my great uncle. Seemed cool at the time, but now it's one of those things you don't really know what the hell to do with. Not really a show off piece, but I can't just toss it either.
I have my vip pass feom the DukesFest signed by Ben Jones, aka Cooter.
It reads:
To my son,
Ben Jones
Cooter
I was engaged to his daughter for a brief moment.
I also have a pretty sweet coin collection.
