Glass eyes for Sale

Not shed related but of interest to you.

A jar of glass eyes, a pair of stuffed guinea pigs and a 19th century dentist’s chair have gone under the hammer as a Victorian museum held the ultimate closing-down sale.

It was a case of “everything must go” at Shambles Victorian Museum in Newent, Gloucestershire, where 2,400 weird and wonderful items were auctioned off.

The Victoriana has been collected over the past 40 years by Jim Chapman and his wife Holly, who closed the museum because it was no longer financially viable.

The guardian did a big piece on it.
