One item...
"This particular example came from a 55 gallon drum of tape dispensers that the U.S. Army was about to dispose of as radioactive waste."
There were also a range of Trimphones which had radioluminescent dials - though said to less than a wristwatch, in bulk, they are also classed as radioactive waste (low level). And yes, the ionization smoke detectors DO contain a radioactive emitter
Some of the other stuff at that museum is even more bizarre.
Mind you, if you like that, you'll love this one
