35 Incredibly Cool, Very Rare Items That People Possess

It’s always cool to learn of rare items you didn’t know existed. Like, did you know that Nintendo made something called a 64DD — a disc drive for the Nintendo 64 that was only released in Japan? Well, now you do. 

What’s also cool is learning about rare items that ultimately serve no purpose, but are just bizarre enough to be interesting — like a ukulele that was autographed “Aloha!” by William Shatner

To that end, Reddit’s most discerning collectors have gotten together and bragged about their rarest wares, including a gigantic dime and an ashtray that’s a real conversation starter.

goldbeater 5mo ago I have a porcelain hand that's used to make gloves by dipping into latex. I've inscribed occult symbols and the lines of palmistry in it. I have a antique floating gauge used to determine alcohol content, still in its custom mahogany box with an ivory plaque on the front. I have a brass clock that's made to go on the end of a cane. I have a plaster ear that I gilded in real gold. There's more but this is a good start. 2 Reply ...

caca_milis_ 5y ago My fellow stitchers will know what's up: Needle minders. It's a magnet that you use while you're stitching, when you're done stitching or if you're changing out the colour of your thread etc, you drop your needle on the minder and it keeps it in place. Bonus use --if I drop/lose a needle I just scan the vicinity with the needle minder and it usually finds it. 1K ...

schnit123 5y ago A Vectrex: a very rare home console from the early 80's that used vector instead of raster graphics (ie: lines instead of pixels). The system had to come with its own TV screen in order to be able to display its graphics correctly. It was actually a pretty good system but was expensive for its time and had the misfortune to release right before the great video game market crash of the early eighties so very few people bought one, but it remains a compelling little curio in the history of gaming. 2K ...
aquaphobic_goldfish 5y ago I have what looks like an oval brass pill box, but when you open it there is a chain inside that is connected to the bottom part. The chain is about 18 long and has a hook on the end. It was made for a woman to pull up the zipper on the back of her dress after she put the dress on. The hook on the end of the chain goes in the hole on the zipper tab, and then you pull the chain to pull the zipper up. 4.1K ...
RepostsDefended 5y ago Gonna hijack this as it's kinda related, but I have a plastic box on my shelf that looks like someone made a knock off N64. It's actually a 64DD, a disk drive for the Nintendo 64 that was never released outside of Japan and was a holy grail for me since I was about 12. Finally found one last year. 172 ...
TheOdinOfReddit 5y ago My grandfather owned this wooden globe. It was a huge globe like I mean HUGE. My father inherited it when he passed but I always spun the globe when I was little. My father recently found it again and put it in his study and one day when my parents weren't home I was working on an assignment in his study and I got bored so I spun the globe and noticed a very very small hinge on the equator. So I spun it to the opposite side and tried to open it and BOOM! THE GLOBE

Sir_Cannot_Decide 5y ago A pocket knife my grandfather was given during WWII taken off a japanese soldier. It was modified to also be able to fire a small lead ball. Really cool artifact.

shastabh 1y ago I have an original bob ross painting. It was one of three used for an episode of the television show. This one was off-camera but on set and he used it as a reference for the one he painted on the episode. I attended the taping by shear happenstance and he gave it to me after the taping was complete. Не autographed the back with date/episode info and I have a bunch of letters we wrote to each other afterwards where he explained his inspiration for that particular painting, others related to it in the series and
