Did you know that Campagnolo made some other items other than bicycle components? Tennis racquets, wine bottle corkscrews, and nutcrackers. And, automobile rims.
I have seen Campagnolo nutcrackers but this was the first one I've seen in gold plating, dating from the 1970s:
I have yet to see a Campagnolo tennis racquet, these are mentioned in one of their catalogs.
Did Campagnolo manufacture anything else non-cycling related that I haven't already mentioned?

You mentioned car wheels but they also made motorbike parts, notably supplying Harley Davidson.

In addition to their normal line of tools, they also made a repair stand, as shown in their catalog #16. It was not on offer for very long
