In no particular order.....

-Scotty's pet tribble on Delta Vega (STXI)

-Four of Uhura's TOS earpieces as a forcefield projector (ENT: "Vox Sola")

-The painting of the Ringship Enterprise (ENT: "First Flight", "Home")

-The TOS phaser sound used on the bridge as the USS Kelvin fired (STXI)

-The early Excelsior and Enterprise study models used in the starship junkyard (TNG: "Unification")

-The Christopher Pike Medal of Honor (some TNG episode. He also got a shuttle named for him in "The Most Toys")

-The Vanguard-style station (from the novels) in TOS-R "The Ultimate Computer"
