100 Minor Treasures

First Post
Below is a table of 100 items that might be found by adventurers that have a value of 10 to 100gold pieces... I tried to keep away from generic treasure, instead trying to find things that are out of the ordinary. Some may lead to adventures, others are simply mysteries... Let me know what you think is good, what is bad, what is useless... Thanks!

BTW, here is the first list, 100 items worth 10gp or less...

40- Six stuffed wolfhounds with black leather collars set with white onyx. (Collars: 10gp each)
