Large Anitique Collection for Sale
salle...@my-dejanews.com
various items, cookie jars, coke trays, prints, shawnee, art glass, art deco,
furniture, ladies heads, antique toys -tin, cast, etc. These items are a
personal collection of a sellar who has held onto his killer items over the
past 20 years. This is the best of the best. Hard to find cookie jars,
original hard to find coke trays, large shawnee collection, large art glass
collection, and a LARGE lady head collection. He has decided to sell all.
This collection is a house full. In fact, it is in a house that was purchased
just to hold collection, not to live in. Starting price is $35,000.00.
Serious inquiries only. Collection will not be broken, it is an all or none
sell. This is probably an once in a lifetime oppurtunity for a dealer to buy
hard to find items for their customers. These items are not easily found any
longer. Located in Oklahoma, I do have a high positive feedback at eBay
auction site is anyone wants to check my reputation.
Reply to - sal...@lawtonok.net - serious inquiries only. An inventory is
peing prepared. Again, collection will not be broken up.
Thanks,
Susan

Yes -- but what *I* want to know is if the heads came
from large ladies, or if the ladies had large heads (before
removed by the person with the "killer collection")

:-D I'm just glad they're not shrunken heads. How in the heck did they do
*that* anyway? Bet Rich can tell us. Fayette

Ah, Fayette. You've not been watching the Discovery
Channel much, eh? The standard method of making a
shrunken head involves removing all the bone structure,
soaking in some sort of nasty stuff, and then drying it
(I believe on a pole.) Maybe the "nasty stuff" is some
sort of thing that will repel insects?
I'm sure someone here will have a more accurate (gag!)
formula, but that gives you the idea.

Shrunken head technology is actually fairly simple:
1. Sew shut eyes, mouth. Insert small dowels in nostrils, ears.
2. Fracture skull.
3. Suck out brains.
4. Remove all bits of bone.
5. Stuff with dried grass into proper shape.
6. Dry, replacing and adjusting dried grass as needed.
I can't answer detailed questions, because I never actually tried it
myself, but reading how to do it in our little local Carnegie library was
mesmerizing, and I never forgot it.

=:-O Thanks Tish. I knew I could count on someone to answer that question.
LOL Oh my goodness. Fayette

Woolarock (way cool place). Except instead of grass, they used hot rocks
and used another rock to smooth and shape the face.

Hi Tish-
I'm wondering if there's anybody on r.a. old enough to remember a late
50's-early 60's Alfred Hitchcock TV show where a husband & wife explorer team
are working way up in the Amazon and she starts having some mental problems ?
They discuss it for a while and she insists on having some of the porters take
her back to a big city so she can visit her shrink; they leave and in just a
few days the porters are back without her. Husband asks the Boss porter where
she is and he says" I heard you say you wanted to send her 5 days each way to
go to a shrink, but I had a good friend just one day's travel and he did the
job a lot faster and cheaper- whereupon he whips out some long blond hair with
head attached.
Ah, for the good old days of TV. That was about the same time as another
Hitchcock show where a wife beats her husband to death with a frozen leg of
lamb, then thaws it and has it nicely roasting when the detectives are trying
to piece the crime together and what sort of blunt object could leave an
irregular 4-5 inch dent in his head. They are still trying to figure it out
when they are later enjoying a nice lamb dinner that otherwise would have gone
to waste.
