You know those old CD keepers? I have a big collection of them.

Fabric and dnd dice

Wishbones. I had 77 wishbones at one time, with about 72 of them being chicken wishbones from the Cornish Xs we raised.

I don't really collect anything strange. Or anything at all. Hubby and I like antiques so we have quite a few of those

 

[azurbanclucker]

I used to have a small collection of gastroliths.

 

[Evadig]

Postcards - every time I visit a place I get a postcard of it if there's one available. I also buy antique ones from antique stores. I have more than one hundred.

Oh, wait, you said strangest collection. That would be, um, my old homework papers.

What are gastroliths?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Hair
And I'll leave it at that.

 

[azurbanclucker]

What are gastroliths?

Rocks that animals swallow to help break up food in their gut. In this case, fossilized ones. Mine were from fossil deposits containing hadrosaurs, stegosaurs, and giant sloths.

(edit: Allegedly. I got them at rock shows)
