The no practical function takes out a lot of items like guitars, swords etc. Maybe one could have those if the function is never used, guess the is the OP's genie's choice.
If I could have an item if it could never be used for its function it would be one of two.
The first would be Paul Newman's Rolex 6263 Daytona
Or Michael Schumacher's helmet from the 2000 Japanese Gran Prix when he clinched the first world championship for Ferrari in 21 years
A tight reading of the OP's criteria really lends itself to art:
My personal choice would be Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring
However, I would choose The Persistence of Memory by Dali for my wife's enjoyment instead:

A photo album and journal depicting my ancestors that were all... exterminated... back in Poland during the holocaust.
My grandpa was the only one that made it to America and his brother became the top general and eventually the president of Poland in the 70s, but they were the only two out of dozens that survived. Before WWII my last name was very common in Poland, now it's a rare, uncommon name.
I'd love to know the rest of my family that existed and see what they looked like, and know their stories so they could live on through me.
Instead they got wiped off the face of the earth and forgotten like they never existed, and to me that is the saddest thing that can happen to any human

quote:
It has to be an object you can physically hold. No cars, etc.
2. It cannot have a practical function. No tools, etc.
3. You cannot profit from it in any way. No selling it, etc.
4. You do not have to worry about anyone stealing it no matter how famous or valuable it is.
Already married so no thanks.

A hand-held device that blocks out cell phone signals anywhere within a 10 mile radius of my location.
That way I won't be behind a thoughtless moron in line at the grocery store who is trying to pay while deep in conversation.
When the light turns green I won't be waiting for an idiot to look up from their phone before realizing that they could've gone a minute ago.
I won't have to be privy to some jackass's intense rambling that resonates throughout the lobby of the doctor's office anymore.
While at work, when a group of us are just relaxing and engaging in meaningless banter we won't be shown up by the genius who googles all parts of the conversation and calls you out with facts they just read, thus seeing themselves as a superior intellect.
I won't be behind a swerving vehicle that is constantly hitting the brakes and then speeding up over and over...pretty much resembling a drunk driver, because the brain-dead driver is texting his or her compadres.
THAT IS ALL!
