The Cleaver

This Relic is an antique meat cleaver.

This cleaver is over three feet long and requires two hands to use it. It seemed to be a natural addition to my edge weapon collection. Plus it will be damn handy the next time I need to disassemble a cow or an unruly villain.

I bought it at an estate auction several years ago for $5.

--It's perfect to the pending Zombie Apocalypse!

The Pentax

I just bought a new camera, the Nikon D3000 on the left.

The Relic on the right is a classic Pentax K 1000 35mm film camera.

I have several cameras in the Relic Room. I might start a series on just the cameras.

--I have always been about the pics!

The Lepers

These are my newest Relics.

Brenda bought these for me during Pennsic in 2012.

These are hand made Lepers. They are all unique and have flies, maggots, blood and open wounds.

They even have Leper bells.

Hundreds of these guys were sold to the children of the Pennsic War.

--I love the thought of the kids sleeping with these little guys...

The Carved Box

This Relic is a hand carved box that once belonged to Brenda's Mom.

It was used as a woman's dress glove box.
This box once belonged to Brenda's great Great Aunt Annie Reiner. It was a Christmas gift from her Aunt Florence Kuss in 1905.

It has that gift inscription burned into it's bottom.


I love the smell of the box when opened.

--The smell of time past...
