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.

Probably the case but if I remember the lore it was very early on. Masks were gold back then
Even then I had sent some n95s from a large box I had to my parents and they said don't worry we wear gloves when we go out ๐คฆ I remember in the very early days a woman at the pharmacy chin strapping a mask that she was supposed to be wearing because of a high risk elderly person she was taking care of. I was flabbergasted that she was just wearing it on her chin like that. Then of course it became less surprising over time as people just don't understand how an airborne respiratory virus works.
It's not that they don't understand on an intellectual level, it's that monkey brains are terrible at dealing with invisible, statistical threats. It takes a strange monkey indeed to listen to their prefrontal cortex all of the time.
