Antique shops?

Question

What is the most interesting thing you have found or bought at an antique store?

Answer 1

A wall decoration - small vase mounted on a decorative wrought iron frame. I haven't been able to locate something similar, which is just fine with me because I tend to like one of a kind items.  The vase has a round bulb shaped bottom and fluted top.  

I filled the vase about 1/2 way with my smallest buttons and hung it in the living room.

Answer 2

A WWII Belgian Bazooka, (not working of course).  At $700 my wife talked me out of it,
