[Misc] Unusual memorabilia…

[Gabbafella]

I have several signed star wars items.
Boba Fett helmet signed by Jeremy Bulloch, Vader helmet signed by James Earl Jones and Dave Prowse, Stormtrooper helmet signed by several cast members, signed photos of Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Frank Oz, Anthony Daniels and Dave Prowse.

I too have a Russian doll set bought in Prague. The shop owner was a huge Brighton fan, he used to travel to Brighton when we were at the theatre of trees.
If I recall, my set consists of Virgo, Butters, Cullip, Kuipers, Knight.

I think that is one of mine, not sure where it is at the moment, but the one on the shelf I can see right now has Murray, Izquierdo, Knockaert, Bruno and Propper.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I have a FISH OUT poster from a game I and BHA went to at the Hull Boothferry ground. Presume he was an owner

I'll guess the encasing order being:

Butters
Kuipers
Virgo
Cullip
Knight

Not easy though.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Actually should have said 2 brooches. Just dug them out if there are any Arabic speakers. My money is on it saying "Can he play left-back?"

"With Greetings from the General Union for Iraq's Women"?

Nope.
Virgo
Butters
Cullip
Kuipers
Knight.

Pretty sure knight is to scale.

A chess set, hand carved by a German POW who gave it to my dear Uncle Reg (merchant navy, stores quartermaster) when the ship docked in Canada, as a thank you for playing chess with him each evening of the voyage from the UK and for giving him an extra daily apple to keep his spirits up.

No, you're just missing the other half that said "OF WATER"

 

[Bodian]

A card from Alan Mullery wishing me (us) well on our wedding day.

A card signed by Rolf Harris - what on earth am I meant to do with that now?

 

[Garage_Doors]

A sharpie pen that has Johnny Rotten's DNA on it as he used it to sign a photo of us i had taken previously.

I have 2 seats from the South Stand at the Goldstone, the only stand at the ground I never went in.
Also, Lee Steeles balloon from the league winning parade along the seafront.
Norman Cooks rejected sample Palookaville shirt.
A pouch made from a kangaroo scrotum.
2 sets of Albion Russian Dolls from that shop at the end of one of those bridges in Prague.
Several of the banners that were used in the mid 2000s while campaigning for Falmer.

My girlfriend who you met in the bar worked in one of those places when she first rocked up in Prague. Said all the souvenirs come from China

Haha, brilliant, a shame, but probably no surprise. [emoji1]

 

[wunt be druv]

For some reason my late Father had these bad boys from his time spent in the Fleet Air Arm, they are 20mm. cannon shells! I think there safe!

I forgot, I have one of Johnny Depp’s coats from PotC that I accidentally forgot to take off after a shoot. It wasn’t a Pirates film but was set in the same era so the film studio used a lot of the same wardrobe. And I have a plastic rifle, one of hundreds rejected from the set of Saving Private Ryan because in the beach landing scene they all floated. Somebody got fired that day! They were kept and I swiped one from a series they were used on a few years later.

The chances are that was made by a friend of mine, as he made most of Depps PoTC costumes

 

[Goldstone1976]

A piece of green plastic scenery from the Jungle Zone, a gold token from the Dome, and a crystal - all from the Crystal Maze.

A blow pipe and some poison-tipped arrows from Burma (or Myanmar if you prefer).

A long, bloody heavy war club thing made and used by a Masai warrior, kept by my late Dad by the front door “in case I need it” for decades. I’m glad he never did, it’d easily stove someone’s head in.

It’s a fine bit of tailoring. Although, been deliberately weathered so it’s in a bit of a state.

 

[Icy Gull]

My brother had Andy Gibb’s (Bee Gees younger brother) train set and 125cc motorbike at one time. No idea what he did with them.

I have my grandfather’s elephant gun. He served in India between the wars

 

[dejavuatbtn]

A birthday card from Justin Fashanu.

Loads of memorabilia of all sorts, but probably the oddest bit (other than a Nazi flag from a - presumably abandoned - German staff car that my late Grandad took) is Midge Ure's trousers! I was bidding for Pink Floyd stuff at an auction and there were some charity lots, one of which was Ure's strides and signed picture, which no-one bid on so I think I got them both for £20 + buyers fees. I used to be able to fit in them too, at the time!

My late nan had a truncheon under her bed “in case I need it”. It was RAF issued. It clearly worked as she was never burgled or anything. I always remembered this truncheon and when she passed it was the one item I kept from her estate. It now keeps me safe at night.
