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]

That's basically a dispenser, right? It looks like you press down the head and perfume comes out the beak. That's very cool.
Actually, you snap off the tail - it's a single use item!
Oh, what a gorgeous waste that is.
And we'll never know what the perfumes smell like because they'll never be broken
I’m not so sure. You could probably use spectroscopy to figure out what is in there now and then work out what form would have been in way back then.
I'd definitely be curious to know
