What's the rarest or most unusual computer-related item do you own?

My thinking is that it is a cryto device. They used such to

change keys for encoding and decoding.

Although EAI did a lot of analog stuff, it wasn't uncommon

for many different companies to do gov contracts.

As an example, during WWII, Lionel Train company made

ship's compasses. These couldn't be more different.

Given the topic, I have this rather *unique* punch card reader, if you want
to call it that. It is marked EAI but that's where the trail turns cold.
Perhaps used as a microcode source? All holes are read simultaneously via
individual switches. If someone has seen one before, please speak up. -C
