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]

Oh, I thought this was a shitpost.

They're literally a thing.

Whoever thought this would be a fun lawn toy was nefarious.

Cob Scout knives are still a thing. Back when lawn darts came out getting a young boy his first knife was a common rite of passage. Mumblety-peg was a common game of throwing the knife into the dirt.

Couldn't close it because they lack thumbs?
