By best we could mean the one that made the most money, but it might also be the most unique,
the most fun, the most anything !

I think the best was the Pommes Anna pan.
williams-sonoma (dot) com/products/mauviel-copper-pommes-anna-pan/
Got it for $8. But more than the price its just a hard item to find. Not many out there. It's a pan to make ONE thing. All its used for. And a very time consuming, unhealthy, recipe at that.
I think all the high end copper cookware is cool. See a lot of copper but 90% is crap. When you find a really old piece with stamps, can trace it back to some kitchen from early 1900's.....it's history. Even better when you find a piece for $20, fix it and sell it for $250. ;D
Runner up?
The electric mixer from the 1920's still in box and with original bowl. Picked for $15. Bowl alone sells for $50-ish. Its like brand new. Kinda cool to have an old vintage mixer on the counter but that its actually functional is even cooler. Some collector would probably have a heart attack if he found out I am using it but its way better than the $40 Target mixer I had.......

Yesterday I picked up an antique Seth Thomas mantle clock with the key, pendulum and working AND a 1930's/40's Western Union Blanks box with porcelain sign AND the blank sheets for money orders and money wires for $20.
