Dig This Treasure!

So upon my return to sales with Sarah, I mentioned I found a really amazing treasure. I spotted it at the home owned by a former antiques dealer from Germany. When I first saw this, I thought it was an old metal mold.

And then I realized that it was a tiny replica of an iron maiden!  So creepy!  But also so cool!  I love antique metal items and miniatures, so this was right up my alley.  I was concerned though that it was a little too gruesome to have in our house.  I consulted Zach on this:

He was obviously on board.  I paid $22, which turns out is a great deal!  Look at this other one that sold on ebay:

I don’t plan on selling mine, but it is good to know that if one day I do, it’ll be filed under our “Money Makers” category.

Do you have a “Fave Find?”  Perhaps your own miniature torture device?  Tell us about it on our Facebook page!
