Came across an item.. not really memorabilia.. but thought it unique 
a Weitek Insertion tool 
i have seen gold coins with Billy Gates on them, and i have even bought a IBM punch card printing wheel
I was wondering what odd things (computer related) other people have seen.. or even bought

He he, where should i start
These Intel Tera-Flop flipflops where giveaways from Intel to those who worked at Sandia Labs installing the ASCI Red supercomputer. The first computer to reach 1 Teraflop. ASCI Red was based on the Pentium Pro processor and the super computer was designed by Intel and Sandia Labs.
