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.

You are reading like my nephew was at ~4 years old. Opened up a book demonstratively and started reading out loud what he'd imagine could be written in there. It's funnier when it's a 10cm thick brick of a book in an old leather casing and he reads how the kangaroo gifts his bunny friend a firetruck Lego set. You doing that same thing with a great replacement obsession is tragically pathetic.
