Newest acquistion

So, as some of you may remember, I have described my house as a cross between a museum, an armory, a library and a zoo.
My latest purchase just proves this.
Friday, I purchased a partial mammoth tusk. It is almost 17 inches from end to end.
The individual I bought it from was using the money from it's sale plus some he had saved back, to purchase a larger tuck piece.

Below is a pic.

 

That's really cool Dino!

 

Only you somtimes XD.

 

Very Cool Indeed !!!! Any idea on it's age? Must be a bit awe inspiring to handle something like that.

 

Don't let me touch it! I tend to drop things

 

I that it was a piece of driftwood at first XD

 

It is estimated to be about 40,000 years old, It is from the North Sea, where it was pulled up in a fish net.
The North Sea is very shallow between the UK and Europe, there is believed to have been a land bridge connecting the two several times in the past.
As fihhing boat pull nets across the bottom of the sea floor, they snag pieces like this and bring them to the surface.

 

Pretty cool !!!

 

That is awesome!

 

So I looked a round a minute ago and here's what is in sight

an original oil painting by Bob Eggleton
95 pound piece of kimberlite ( matrix stone that Diamonds are found in)
stryo foam T-rex skull
15 inch ash stake ( for vampires)
5 inch megladon tooth

Whyyyyyy.....?

Hahaha, we've got two Claymores. One looks like its from LOTR (Its not), and one its just cool (And both are super heavy @.@)!

 

Ill take the claymore....though I assume its for those pesky zombies and werewolves.....and rival clans of alien fish

EDIT: What kinda claymore? Highland or what?

 

Non edged made by Star Fire Fordge, used for reinactments is 6 feet long and weighs 14 pounds. There is also a di-sho, the Japaneses equivalent of a lance, and two Gill Hibben short swords in sight.

Yes, Carol, it is not LITE!

 

We use ours on Halloween to scare the pee out of children's cocky parents *L*

 

Oh, the wooden 8 foot tall wall in the front yard that I throw knives and axes at keeps parents and neighbors at bay.

 

That poor wall

 

I miss the Rapiers my teacher had in her trunk(shes a hardcore Shakespeare director o.0). They were real, and so lovley. 4ft long almost 3lbs, dulled a little of course. She tought us how to fake sword fight.

 

Rapiers are sweet!

 

They are fun, so fun! They stopped letting bring them after one of the guys at the play slipped up and got run through the arm, please, it was a flesh wound.....all the way through the flesh!

 

I have a nice 4 inch scar where I slid my bat'leth into my leg.
