We use a brass spittoon too.  I really like it because the design means you
don't have to hold it in an awkward position so you don't see what you're
drawing.  Plus the 'ting' when someone tosses a chip in sounds cool.

We've got Texas Ranger badges for the Marshals and occasionally use a period
set of cards for Hucksters or Mads (the cards aren't numbered, so it can
slow things down a bit if used for the action deck).

I did use a replica .45 once for the sound effect of the characters hearing
it cocked in the darkness.

know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over
I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Yank body. The
smell, you know that sulphurous smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...
victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."
