1871-1920: Made by a hindu sect. Used for enlightenment training and only those who had gone through enough training were allowed to wear these shoes.


19th century mask made in Europe. Women who nagged or talked too much were forced to wear these masks so that they would have difficulty moving their mouth.

1840-1900: artificial limb


1854: Shoes made of deer skin that was once worn by nurse Nightingale.


1780-1805: Shaving blade used by a famous British navy Horatio Nelson

300-year-old interrogation chair from China

You call 'em creepy - I call 'em awesome! :) The tattoos-cut-from-dead-skin might be kind of creepy, but the rest of it is cool.

But then, I'm the kind of person who can happily spend hours in the Museum of Technology, looking at old steam engines, so maybe I'm slightly biased when it comes to antique collections. >.>

I love how it would give her a happy goblin face, complete with antennae lol!

19thC seems a bit late for something like that though... I'd say 18thC at he latest, if real. Or, if fake, 19thC at the earliest.

Those all look very interesting and awesome at the same time. :3


The only one I would consider creepy would be the mummified girl, though.
