Okay, the Oversatyr is my favourite thing since the suggestion that late-stage Seeking the Name might involve turning one's pet into Over Rogan Josh.

The miniature music-singer dispensing acid made me snort a laugh, I confess.

Nice pictures, though I have to agree the Hooded Paramour does cost you a few points.

Singing Amber
Category: Rubbery
It keeps singing "Pop Goes The Weasel", and attracts a whole horde of Rubbery Men to shadow you. Maybe you should give it to them? (But it is so pretty!)
Zee-Urchin
Category: Weapon
Neither an urchin nor zee-food. Don't let a Rubbery Man catch you walking around with this.
Drop of Executioner's Honey
Category: Contraband
Named "the King of Honey", they say, for its taste is second to none, not even to Gaoler's Honey. What they don't say is that it is also second to none in lethality, not even to Cantigaster Venom. Hence, the name.
Fille-Fatale
Category: Pet
Adorable urchin, exalted assassin and assistant, whatever. She exceeds all your expectations of what an Adopted-ish Daughter should be, anyway. Speaking of which, have you seen your daughter lately?
+2 Dangerous, +4 Persuasive, +1 Watchful, +1 Shadowy
Albino Salt-Chimera
Category: Pet
Just because you found the Albino Rat and Salt Weasel look similar is no excuse to fuse them together, you horrible person!

GIMP. The Fille-Fatale is made by cruelly removing the bun on the Oriential lady's head, fattening said lady, and adding two ponytails.

My personal take on an extensive collection of scientific discovery works ^^ (in my idea, each represents 10 or more volumes of the relevant scientific collated works):
Category:Weapon
De lapsis civitatibus libri
A poetic rendition of the history of the five Fallen Cities, based on myths and archaeological discoveries in the Southern Archipelago and Polythreme. And all in Latin to boot! For the gentleman and the scholar.
+3 Watchful, +3 Persuasive, +1 Respectable
(Prelapsarian Archaeology)
Category: Weapon
Arcane bestiary
Know your enemy... Or your pet.
+3 Watchful, +3 Dangerous, +1 Dreaded
(Cryptozoology)
Category: Weapon
The alphabet of lost souls
The complete guide for the explorer of what's Beyond.
+3 Watchful, +3 Shadowy, +1 Bizarre
(Theosophistry)

I see all of these as part of an "Inspired" Series or something, where the higher you build it and the more you put into it, the greater the reward. It would involved a revolutionary dying engineer who enlists your help for one last masterpiece before he dies. I'm not sure the order however
Category: Weapon
Water-Cooled Multi-rifle
Now you to can put as many bullets in the air as a squad of the Empress's finest guardsmen! Now if only it wasn't so d**ned loud...
+5 Dangerous, +1 Dreaded, -4 Watchful
Category: Clothing
Clockwork Dueling Suit
You spent the evenings designing it, you paid handsomely for it to be built, and they laugh at you? Let us see who laughs now!
+4 Dangerous, -3 Stealth, +2 Scandal, -2 Wounds, +2 Bizarre, +1 Dreaded
Category: Shoes
Wheeled Boots
They're like velocipedes you wear on your feet! How Novel!
+2 Stealth, +1 Bizarre +2 Respectable
Category: Pet
A Clockwork in Constant Motion
Every time you see this you can't help but be struck by wonder as it's existence
+3 Bizarre, +2 Persuade, +2 Dangerous, -1 Stealth, +3 Watchful
Category: Gloves
Clock-Work Climbers
Gloves fit to give the greatest of grips whether hanging from a perlious cliff or providing a firm grip on the hand of your father-in-law to-be!
+2 Dangerous, +1 Stealth
and now for something completely unrelated:
Category: Clothing
Flaming Suit
They can't catch you IF YOU'RE ON FIRE!
+2 Dangerous, +3 Wounds, -3 Suspicion, +2 Bizarre, +1 Dreaded
Ok, that's it for now. Thoughts?

A Drop of Moon-Milk
Not enough to damage their mind permanently, of course. Just enough to stoke the flames of love. [This will allow you to skip the steps of courting a Constant Companion, taking you straight to the final step.]
Correspondence-Engraved Goggles
"Look deep into my eyes, and you'll see my love for y-somebody get some water!"
+3 Dangerous, +2 Suspicion, +2 Scandal, -2 Shadowy, -2 Perusasive
Mr.Eaten's Name
Engraved on a small square of lead, just thinking about looking at it causes you to foam at the mouth. [This item cannot be removed once equipped, but will reveal to you the Name. Why would you do this? For the love of all that is holy, put it down!]
+7 Scandal, +7 Wounds, +7 Nightmares, +7 Suspicion, -5 Shadowy, -5 Dangerous, -5 Persuasive, -5 Watchful
