Post your favorite/ rare stems from your collection!
Since I've been doing some organizing/cleaning, I've found my stash of stems. Looking over them made me realize why I stowed them away.
Il Primo Di Lusso
Nitto I-Beam
Nitto - Unidentified
Cinelli 1A
And for the MTB crowd...
Titanium stem custom made for a Klein Adroit by Keith Bontrager himself. (supposedly
)

Okay, I'll play with you:
Early oval logo Cinelli 1R, panto Colnago. I still haven't seen another of these with this Colnago panto - in fact, it seems 3ttt was doing Colnago's stems for a long time. Cinelli, not so much.

My Stems:
My ITM with "Vitus" Pantographing. I haven't seen another one of these yet. It was on my Carbone when I bought it.
My other stems. A hinged Mavic SSC, A Titan pantographed one (not sure who made these), A hinged ITM in Black and clear anodizing from the 90's
While John's at it I mgiht as well post a pic of my Bador 116mm, English threaded, sealed bearing BB. This is the first one I ever encountered.
My 41T x 144BCD Specialites TA chainring.
And my 41T x 144BCD Sugino chainring.
These 41T rings are not that common as they really push the envelope with the ring bolts on some of them are so close to the chain, they are pretty much touching them.

Perhaps the most useful component I have- Ambrosio adjustable stem:

I keep a 130 mm 1A on my desk as an "executive toy". Not that I execute anything, but the thing is so damn sexy. I's an old logo one and the anodizing is flawless. Pearly sheen Italian alloy components make my world go 'round (hence the username).

I love adjustable stems. Here's a Major Taylor my stepfather had since he was a kid and I rechromed, and a Schwinn Paramount stem. I'd guess they're both somewhat rare.
I also have a few of the Ambrosios and a Cinelli stayer on another Paramount...
