I've got two pretty cool items - a (nearly perfect condition) copy of a 1938 Syracuse Herald newspaper with a picture of Lou Gehrig on his way to the world series, sitting in the back of a pickup truck on his suitcase. Also in the paper is a picture of Hitler, during a ticker tape parade.
Second, I have a J.W. Pepper "Surprise" cornet that was manufactured in 1894 and sold for around $15 new. The cornet is in excellent condition and I typically play a song or two during each local performance. The cornet was a gift to me recently from a friend.
