Most Obscure Star Wars Prop (1977-1983)

It's not a star wars prop however, it was used in the incredible hulk movie. My mother used to sell Avon products and she gave it to me close to 30 years ago. It needs a good polishing, but it's the same exact jewelry box Tyler had in her bedroom. Once I spotted it, I immediately recognized it. My wife found it in an old box of my stuff and put it on her dresser.
It looks like its a lid from a pressurized container. Aircraft potable water jug?
Sofaking, they look like some sort of vintage car power antenna like this (scroll down for pics);

Edit: disregard....I thought you were talking bout the silver throttle handle things. With that said, your mystery part looks like a center console from an early 70's automatic.

Thanks for posting this. I'm building my own r2 and this is an excellent prop to display near him. I just pulled one off ebay for 12 bucks. There are a couple others listed if anyone else wants one.
Any other obscure props? Please do post photos - screen caps or real life!
Look like Chopper gear shift boxes
I also thought they looked like that ..but they aren't . Pity .
Got any pics? We've been trying to find out what was used for the ROTJ bunker bomb since this site started!

Luke uses it to fix 3PO in Obi's house as well.

My God, that looks dangerous!!! Don't wanna jump any curbs with that ball killer on my bike!
I have an old cast metal torch too! There are plastic ones I've heard that are near identical, albeit not screen accurate.
My phone is acting up, but this is the photomultiplier tube I have - except I have no base and the tube is completely filled with the plates. This one is only half filled.

That's sooo cool!:cool
I have 2 of these, found them for less than $5 each too!

You want obscure? How about a prop that never got screen time:
Lando's Falcon hatch remote...
For some reason I was fascinated by this little prop back when it was an accessory with the deleted scene figure a few years back. I think there was some discussion on it but not anything concrete.
I have a Code 3 Falcon that I have a set of gold dice displayed with it and I wanted to add the remote as well.
However...
If you want to know my favorite all time most desired obscure prop of Star Wars 77-83 (you did not limit it to movies), it would have to be Lumpy's stuffed Bantha from the Holiday Special.
I would love a replica of that thing. I currently have three mass produced little stuffed banthas in my collection because of my fascination with this prop since I first saw it in 1978. But of course they are not as impressive as the the one Lumpy had.

I have a red and black pair of these, originals, been sitting on my desk for a few years as I like a bit of retro plastic. Fast-forward a few years, I dropped a paper clip in the thing and had to take it apart to get it out ....and then found the base of the pen-holder was another greeblie. I had given up looking for the base part quite sometime ago LOL!!!
I have a few different Photomultiplier Tubes, can I please ask what were these used for in the original props, thanks for any info...
