A mobile phone.
Whilst I'm not going to get a signal, there are plenty of apps and other functions to kickstart a much earlier industrial revolution.
If I get advance warning, I'll download the last 150 years of world events and discoveries and show that to them as well. I should imagine the world would be quite different.

You'd have to go back a lot further than 150 years to kick start an EARLIER industrial revolution.
About twice that actually |

"If you could travel to the past, at least 150 years ago. What one item would you take back for them to marvel at?"
Given that a) you cant depend on electricity, b) no radio signals etc, and then something mechanical.
An anti tank missile would surprise them, but you couldn't replace the ammo.
How about the humble wind up torch.

Good point. 150 years is only 1873, so that's quite advanced I suppose.
Ok, how about penicillin ? That wasn't discovered until 1928 (it wasn't until 1942 however that it entered mainstream use).
