I've got a few very different type things and I'll list a couple
I bought this little tin airplane from a vender at the field for $5.00, its about 8" long aybe 4" high + wing span. The story- It was somewhere in the mid 90's I came out to a game and obviously walking around here this guy had a little outside stadium trinket souvenir shop. I seen this old airplane just hanging sort of like a decoration way in the back. I said how much for the plane and said $20.00. I said way to much and kept walking he then said $15.00, I said to much and he said what would Ipay..... I said $5.00. He laughed and I said it would still be here when he heads home. He said stop by after the game and if it's still here, he'd sell for the $5.00.
You guessed it, it was there and he honored our agreement. It's pretty kewl and in the late 50's vinue.
I know these where pretty popular but I've never seen anyone who actually owned one. It's an actual football helmet with a yard sprinkler in it. The impact kind. I purchased two of them while I was on the strip and actually used one for watering the lawn........ BIG mistake as it rusted / deteriorated out and crumble to nothing. I still have the second one and ONLY have it for good, not watering.
I've got more and I'll list some but Lets' hear about some unique things other's have in their colletion.
Salute the nation
