Historical Artifacts

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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

It moves around the table and the person it ends up with removes the head and drinks the shot

The huntsman walks into the forest with his dog to hunt wild boar. He is a rare survival of German drinking customs around 1600. Made for a drinking game, this huntsman was propelled by a clockwork mechanism in the base. The diner that the huntsman stopped in front of had to remove the head and drink all the wine from the hollow figure.

Prost!
