My most precious, and to me the rarest, most unique items in my collection has got to be these 2:
1) Vintage MPP(Micro Precision Product) Flashgun, in mint condition and complete with the reflector. This is the exact same model of the MPP flashgun used by ILM to make Vader's saber in ANH & ESB. By itself, as a flashgun, it is still very rare because it was produced in England in the 50s for use with large format cameras. I was very very lucky to have found one so complete and in such mint condition.
I have all the parts necessary to transform this flashgun into Vader's lightsaber, but decided not to attach anything to it yet as I find it very useful as a tool to demonstrate how Vader's lightsaber came about. For the finished product I have my MR LE Vader Sabers and my MR Vader FX saber. Other similar flashguns for making Vader's saber include the Heiland and KingSol brands, of which I also have several of.
2) Vintage Praco Flashgun, in mint condition but minus the reflector. This was the flashgun Yoda's lightsaber was modelled after , and is what appeared in the EP1 Visual Directory, although Yoda's saber is pure CGI in the movies. This particular Praco is even more rare then the MPP. I've not come across anymore on ebay since I got mine.
I've just only recently completed transforming this flashgun into Yoda's saber, after finding the emitter which is machined from aluminum, and a resin control box. The original emitter was the wheel of a 1/16 scale Lamborghini model kit, probably Fujimi or tamiya, and the control box was the oil pan from a 1/12 scale Monogram Corvette model kit
I also own 3 Bolsey #2 flashguns, a prop maker's 2nd choice for making Yoda's saber in lieu of the Praco flashgun.
