What's something you have that you bet other HROT members don't?

I've got a side quiver made from an otter pelt. Anybody else sporting one of those?

Now.....I'm jealous. You know darn well that I support our Otter gods.

Titleist Pro V1 that I dunked for eagle on the Road Hole at the Old Course. Nice little round of golf that day. Made for a nice souvenir.

I forget, @joelbc1 - did you end up playing it when you were over in Scotland? It's hard to appreciate just how tough that hole is if you haven't actually played it.

Edit to add: My hole in one trophy case remains empty. :(

I've got a Folgers can about half full of pheasant tails, wish I would have always saved them.

That old Mic Golden Bucket is probably damn near 12" across the top and I can tell you that you have to "push" to add in more feathers anymore to be honest, don't know what year I started.

(full disclosure, those are not all birds I personally shot, but our little hunting group usually comes back to OV's garage to clean birds and have some red beers after the hunt so most of the tail feathers end up here)

You can't fake that. Well done man.

Most of the things mentioned you can buy.

"I doubt anyone owns a 2011 Tundra crew max with the 4.6 on KO2s...."



That being said:
I own a Iowa Hawkeye "candy jar" that I have filled with Mallard curls. I would be suprised if any of you have that and if you do hit me up.

I've got this one, 1 tail feather for each bird over the past 3 years.

Fly tiers would buy those
 
Autopsy pictures of Qusay and Uday Hussein. Top that ladies.
That's a pretty good one. Here's a comparable:

A former work colleague has a picture of Che Guevera's detached hands, autographed by Felix Rodriguez, as a 'thank you' for some pro bono work he did relating to Felix's tenure with the G. And no, my colleague did not ask for that.

I have an extensive library.

I have full sets of Everyman’s Library and Library of America. I have first editions of 80+ Pulitzer Prize winners. All are in fine condition. A couple dozen have facsimile dust jackets, as I’m only HORT rich. A ton of various other first editions (modern fiction, Irish fiction 1950-present, Booker finalists, fantasy, science fiction, children’s books, law, and finance.)

I’m in the process of building built ins in the basement because they weigh so much that they should be on the concrete slab for structural reasons.

old books are cool. we have a first edition of "The Johnstown Horror", which was something of an early muckraking genre piece that generated a lot of attention. The original jacket has an overly dramatic picture of a child being swept from its mother's arms.
 
This is just a pic from the Internet, but I've got an old Keuffel & Esser transit #31439 built in 1915 that was passed down to my Dad from a couple generations prior. They did drainage tile back in the day, when you actually used a spade to dig the tile ditch.

Used to use one of these for checking elevations on various construction projects,.. pre-laser

Posters will probably make fun of me, but I have a small 15" TV in my bathroom as well as laundry room. I like being able to watch the news/weather in the morning when I'm getting ready especially when I was working. The TV in the laundry room makes doing laundry a little less boring.

What about you?
