Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Yeah, not really useful unless you're fighting off five vampires that were huddled together.

Looks like a rotisserie cage or a way to cook five kebabs or hot dogs at once.
