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.

I always wonder about the story behind oddities like this. Was he buff, and it a pun? Or was it his nickname for an unrelated reason? Or did he just dig mice?

In all cases, it's an odd little humanizing piece of the past!
