This is a 'moonshot' drink glass that Harold's Club casino gave out some fifty years ago to commemorate the Moon landing.

How about more mementos/curios/collectibles?

A penny minted during the reign of Edward I. M gave this to me. It's in a sealed container so I cannot see the reverse side.
NEXT: Continue the theme.

Loran C Expansion Project Mug. Both the Mug and the Owner outlasted the Loran C program.

Pins that came to me as hand-me-downs. Roy Rogers came in a cereal pox, the product is printed on the reverse side, an incentive for boys to demand that their mothers buy that cereal, then give them a big bowl so they can dump out the entire contents as soon as the box arrives to get to the pin at the bottom. The apparent miss-printed double image is actually a 3D effect. visible with red/blue lens glasses used when 3D was first introduced..
NEXT: More curios, souvenirs, collectables, useless-but-cannot-be-discarded items.

In 2009 a completely new incredibly expensive Yankee Stadium opened just north of the original. Tours were given and this is a momento of one of them. I did not take such a tour, and I cannot remember how I came by this little do-dad.
NEXT: More of the theme. Never know what a Pentaxian might have,

Whatever you do, avoid handling the cards.

Raggedy Anne doll from the first year of our marriage, a gift to M from my mother-in-law, a not-so-subtle hint that she wanted a granddaughter. The doll in exactly this form was introduced in 1915, followed in 1918 by the first of a series of popular children's books that were part of my mother-in-law's childhood, and therefore part of M's childhood.
NEXT: Continue the theme of memorabilia, collectables, souvenirs and the like
