Chiefsplanet Show and Tell
 

Show us something cool that you own. Preferably something kind of unusual.

My company collects magnets any time we go anywhere. Here's one wall of our kitchen where you can see them on the fridge, the door and window frames, and tracing across the ceiling. The ceiling line goes to the opposite wall where we have about the same number on some magnet boards. We have around 350 magnets on display now from tons of cities, about 30+ states, and over 20 foreign countries, and the collection continues to grow.

So what do you have? Show me something cool.

Damn
It's in storage, but I have a piece of a space shuttle.
My dad worked for the GSA, and one of his buddies got it for him. Apparently (and I'm sure someone can confirm or bs this) these pieces fall off during launch.

That's a cool show and tell piece.

What part of the shuttle is it from? Is it one of those fascinating heat tiles?

I have a killer whale tooth.

How big is it?

R.I.P.

Sold her in 2011, but man I loved that bike.

managed to squeeze in one track day with her. My next bike will either be a supermoto, or an old SV and just use it as a track bike.

I'd say 8 inches or so.

I have a dagger off a dead SS officer.My great uncle Dave took off the mans body at Omaha beach. It sits in a glass case at the WWII museum in Waverly NE.

This dagger less all the engraving.

Badass man!

Whoa, that's awesome.

I think he was talking about the tooth.



:p

Should I post pictures of my fractured elbow?

I own this sweet ass seafood combo platter but I can't seem to find all 20 pics i took of it
:(

That probably counts. But you've got a lot of cool stuff to compete against so far, so it better be gruesome.

Bad. Ass.

Amazing Spider-man 50 in Near Mint Grade. There are less than 20 of them like this in the world.

Why are there less than 20?

Because it's a certified 9.4 out of 10 grade. Most comics aren't this good when they are printed because of flaws in the mfg. process. This book is 45 years old on top of that.

My Jim Beam Whiskey Train. Was my grand dads. Sits on my fire place mantel. I have seen a few but never a full set like this
Terrible picture

I just sold 12 of those in a garage sale and made a killing. I got $.50 each for them.

Yeah
Black ceramic.
Really wish I could take a pic, but like I said...

About 1'by 1', and about 2" thick.

A buddy of mine who is huge into astrophysics and stuff says I could hold it on one side and take a blowtorch to the other, and never feel it. Never tried it.

if you're ever in a building that's on fire and can't get out, lay underneath the tile.

What?!? You're killing me. :)

If anyone has any comics and wants a grade and $$. Value shoot me a pm or post it. I've got experience with rare comics. Especially Marvel.

1981 Revell Fokker DR-1
I bought it at a swap-meet some years back. I will pas it down to my kid & hopefully by then it will be worth more than the $25.00 I payed for it.

If you could make a suit out of that stuff, it'd be a great way to rob a bank. Just set the place on fire, walk in, put all the money in a bag.

I guess you'd need a bag made out of the stuff, too.

That is amazing!


How much CC money would it take to buy it?

of course then you're stuck with a bag full of quarters because you burned all of the paper money...

I guess it's not a foolproof plan.

but if we keep brainstorming it HAS to be doable.....it can't be any harder to figure out that Sandbox free agency can it?

First we must clone the piece of tile until we have enough to complete the plan! :thumb: Calling on all the CP scientists to make this happen!

I recently purchased a:

Vintage 1970 #65456 Tudor Electric Football Game Superbowl IV Vikings,Chiefs

I believe it was the only year that the company printed the team names in the end zones. Every other year features "NFC" and "AFC" in the end zones. The game itself is in excellent condition and the player pieces are there but there are some other pieces missing. It was purchased from an estate sale by the guy I bought it from.

My Dad caught this Musky in Canada back in the mid 80's. I have it on my bedroom wall.

Just got a brand new Fungo Bat.

I have an 1862/1863 King James Bible with the Apocrypha books in it. The Apocrypha books were removed from the bible in 1885 that they were contradictory to the rest of the bible and wasn't suppose to be in the bible per Catholics high priest.

Kind of cool stuff in it. Awesome pictures it's like an ancient relic to me. It is also very inspirational to read out of but don't miss with it too much as it is in fragile state.

Pretty cool, KC Tattoo. How did that bible end up in your hands?

That's awesome dude!
I wonder how many people don't know about the Apocrypha.

Religion for the win.

From my biological dad it's been in his family for generations I guess?


From my understanding is that it was a pulpit Bible from a preacher who would tell you you are going to hell if you don't change your ways lol. One of those fire and brimstone preachers. I'm not sure the whole story.

I saw Apocrypha in Fresno back in '99.
they played mostly stuff from the Black album though.

CC? Ha ha!

"IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO BE RICH AND TRAVEL IN COMFORT"


This is one of my biological dads painting. He was a really good artist self taught too. He lived on a farm much by himself and that is what he did after Vietnam. Wish I got to know him better as he died when I was in sixth grade. I'd say this is my favorite of all things I own.

Here is a old item
 

Some of the youngsters won't remember something like this but this was my Great Grandfathers during WWII.

We can do a CP auction and put items like that up for bid Yeah :)

heh heh.. no. Nice try ;)

I think they Fokkerred you!

Do tell. I have know idea what that logo represents

I did haggle them down from $37.50.

Is this the only one you have, or do you have others and this is just your favorite?

That is my favorite one. Most of his paintings are mountains and nature or houses. He did some humor like that one but I don't have very many pictures. After I was adopted had a riff in the family and I didn't get to keep a lot of stuff that was rightfully mine. Most of it stolen from family members. I really don't know what happen to it all but his paintings and my memory of him are great.

The first thing that comes to mind is the 5" shell from a destroyer that my wife is a plank owner on.

I have old coins from way back in Victoria era england.

George Brett board game. No longer owned by me. Someone else on the Planet has it.

Not sure it's all that unusual. But I like it. Just fits in the basement.

This is a Boba Fett costume, made from scratch. I sold it years ago. Model is my sister.

You've GOT to be kidding? NERD ALERT!!

this is "Truman", my 1948 Willys CJ2A. She's in the garage right now with the engine pulled, the axles off, and about to undergo a complete frame up restoration.

:thumb:

Incidently, here's sorta a cool story regarding this "jeep". It is referred to as an agrijeep. Willys overland was trying to find a market for these army jeeps after WWII ended. So, they fit them with a rear PTO and a 400 lb tractor weight on the front. So, you can till up a garden, hook up a large circular saw (sold them to the US Forest service too), a trencher, wood splitter, etc.

Also, this one is a "lefty", meaning that the spare tire carrier in on the left, or drivers side of the vehicle. There were only about 10K of these made before several states decided to not allow them on the roads because they were a hazard to hit pedestrians when backing up, obscuring the drivers side view mirror. Missouri was one of those states. So, the leftys were made for about six weeks, and then they converted back to the right side spare tire carrier.

Here we are 65 years later, and there can't be many lefty agrijeeps remaining, so she's at least somewhat rare.

I love the PTO on that thing. That would be super handy.

The model is your sister, but your sister's no model.

Yeah, it's pretty cool and actually works. I don't have any of the attachments for it though.

Yeah, the magnets are at the office. Our collection at home is ceramic jungle creatures.

The beauty of PTO is that virtually any farm implement should work on it.

Yeah, eventually I want a tiller and saw for sure

Search YouTube for space shuttle thermal tile demonstration. They are amazing.

I'd link the vid but I'm on my phone.

I got this about 25 years ago in exchange for a small amount of drugs. I have never had it appraised or anything because I have been told that it is not legal for a non-Native American to have an artifact like this. One of the coolest things I have ever owned but not something I can generally share with the public.

It has been repaired at some point because the pieces are held together with thread. The rest is definitely genuine though, leather, silver (maybe pewter), turquoise, and the claws/talons.

If anyone can help me identify the claws and talons, that would be great. I am pretty sure from the far left is mountain lion, the next one is a talon of some kind (eagle perhaps?) that is in pretty bad shape, then wolf, and finally bear although it seems kind of small.

might be a badger claw in there

think I've posted some of these before.

That arrow is pretty cool. What's the story behind it, if there is one?

I found the point in one of the creeks around here. wife was in Oklahoma at some kind of native American craft show and this guy was making the arrows and his wife was setting them in frames. so she came home and stole the point from my box of goodies and sent it to him. he set it in the shaft and his wife framed it and sent it back to my wife. she gave it to me for Christmas. which I don't know if giving someone something that was already theirs is really a gift, but I sure like it. never knew it was gone.

I put my favorite piece in the casket w/my best friend/rock hunting buddy a couple years ago...blue-flint adena w/a quartz chip, right in the middle of it.
****it...it was somebody elses before I had it.

sec

That's a great gift idea and even more ingenious of Mrs. sec to give you your own stuff.

It sucks that you had to put anything into a friend's casket. :(

yep...he and I walked just about every creek, river and field in this part of the state. I've gone rock hunting twice since he died. hopefully, the grandsons will want to go when they get a little older and i'll start up again.

sec

Maybe this should go in a car thread
 

Not too many Defenders out and about anymore. This is a '94 that I've had for 15 years. And I have NO IDEA why the picture is upside down; operator head space and timing...

and I thought my willys had good traction

LMAO

Not to make light of it, but the cool part is that it's going to confuse the heck out of future archaeologists who conclude that your friend was shot with it and determine that 21st century man used flint tools.

I use to find arrowheads in the woods around where I grew up in the Ozarks. Didn't think anything about it, it was just normal to me. Look down and there is one.

friend and i had discussed this and thought it would be pretty ****in funny.
