- A Tibetan dorje and dril-bu bell that could be over 200 years old (or 5, depending on how honest the street-vendors in Lhasa are)
- A fully calcified nautilus shell, a few hundred thousand years old
- An imprint of a Cretaceous-era fern, 65 million years old
- A fragment of an iron meteorite, between 2 and 3 billion years old
- My grandfather's 1940s era gold tie-clip
- My other grandfather's gold and diamond watch
- A lilac, uncomfortably low v-neck shirt with Hugh Laurie's face silk-screened on
- A digital Meade telescope with over 100,000 logged cosmological bodies and auto-calibration system (now broken).
- A Sarracenia pitcher palnt
- A walk-in (really more of a crawl-in) space shuttle that my mom made for me when I was 3, after I had a hernia operation. It's 5 feet tall, has a little wall phone for calling Houston, a panel with lights and switches and a couple of port windows.
- A hand drawn, tastefully nude Harry-Potter inspired wall calendar
- My grandmother's Leica II camera from 1934
