Cadmium shielding foil
This is fairly thin cadmium foil said to come from a nuclear research facility and intended for use as radiation shielding. Lead is much more common as a shielding material, but cadmium works better for neutrons, which tells you this came from a serious place, as neutrons are not something you get from common radioactive minerals and the like.

Cadmium and dichromate plated thumb screws.
These thumbscrews are plated first with cadmium and then treated with acidified dichromate salt solutions to convert the surface layer of cadmium metal into insoluble cadmium chromate, which doesn't corrode and produce toxic cadmium oxide dust.

Ni-Cad battery
(cadmium rechargeable battery)
A common nickel-cadmium battery. These have fallen out of favor due to the toxied nature of cadmium. Nickel metal hydride and lithium ion batteries are pretty much better in all ways.
