Collector's piece that will be odd to us (5)
I believe the answer is:
curio
This clue could be a double definition.
'collector's' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'piece that will be odd to us' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curio that I've seen before include "Intriguing object worth collecting" , "Rare and unusual item" , "Item of bric-a-brac" , "Object that is interesting, being rare or unusual" , "'Rare, unusual object (5)'" .)
