Probably the strangest is the glow in the dark cross. I have no idea of where
it came from or why. It is around 4" by 7"
Also a Lego braclet that was sold to help Katrinia survivors.
A little model of a coke dispenser glued together and with stickers about 3
inches tall and given out at a trade show.
The White House. The size of a desk. It was on display in their HQ in Denmark.
In the 70's (I think) it was donated to a school in Germany. The school sold it
in an auction to raise funds and it was bought by a GI who shipped it back to
the US and then eventually sold on ebay. It is actually too large to put in my
house.
