    A 51-year old Farberware toaster; a 40+ year old Zenith TV set; a 50+ year old shopping cart with a cotter pin holding on one wheel.

  • I have two antique electric fans from the 1940s. I don't know too many people who have any.

    Much signed memorabilia from George Romero's 1968  "Night of the Living Dead" movie; and several letters from Marilyn Eastman (played "Mrs. Cooper" )


    A brick from Andrew and Abby Borden's home (Lizzie and Emma's home, too)


    Maybe many other people have them, too, but four original movie posters for Gus Van Sant's movie "Elephant"  (one is from France and one is from Korea) - - I had them all framed and they're on my walls.

    A nice, big, wooden soapbox (Kirkman Borax to be exact). When I moved from the family house, I took it to use in my car as a holder for jugs of auto fluids of various types. Where I worked, I would sometimes hear discussions in adjoining cubicles that would get a bit contentious, or just get ridiculous. When I had heard enough, I'd walk over to the cubicle to say, "Don't make me bring my soapbox in here!". It sometimes got them to settle down. At least it misdirected the conversations. I never did actually bring the box into the office.

    Two flutes and a piccolo from when I played them, and my mother's 1953 college yearbook, The Cornellian, which has a group photo from her sorority that includes her and Ruth Bader, later to become Ginsburg. Also a photo of the 40 Westinghouse Science Talent Search winners of 1949, taken in the Oval Office at the White House, including my mother (one of nine girls) and the other winners standing behind President Truman sitting at the Resolute Desk.
