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]

Thanks for the link. I genuinely thought it was too good to be from that era. And the expression on her face has a kind of attitude. Even in kids toys in my lifetime, I've only seen than in more recent figures as opposed to the 80's when I was growing up. Back then they were expressionless, even for figures from toys from well known franchises.

A question of artisan work vs. mass-produced goods, I think!
