Yup. A sharks egg sac. Maybe a swell shark. They grow about 4 feet long. I think I'll wear it as a necklace like Missy Giove wore a piranha. :)

post this under the "one that got away" file:
last year while on vacation in acapulco, we toured an old run down resort & i stumbled upon this delicious heap of "junk" in a stairwell. i asked the guide about it & he said "that's like garbage, you can have it if you want".
there were a few other pieces scattered around the property as well...unreal.
needless to say it wouldnt fit in my luggage & my time was limited so i left it behind, in all of its' dilapidated midcentury glory....it was muy painful! if there had been a bird chair in the lot i would've found a way to get it home fo sho!

Its been a long while since I posted here, but I did get another Vday gift from my better half... I watched these on ebay for 5 days...And just like usual, someone decided the last day to bid...I did the attempt snipe move, as did my girl(without my knowledge). Haha, needless to say she won them under $16, and they are now going to go on my classic breweriana shelf. They are a set of 6 Budweiser beer shot tumblers with the old school bowtie logo and gold trimmed lip in the original box. They called them crested barrel tumblers, but I'll just call them cool as hell! They appear to never have been used. The font on the box is really cool looking too!


Bamboo "Budweiser" Ben would probably get a kick outta these lil suckers!

Found this photo album on Saturday with twenty signed astronaut 8 x 10 photos in it. All original NASA photos and a close inspection and a bit of research looks like all are original signatures. Not bad for twenty bucks. The woman at the cash register couldn't believe it was sitting in her shop and she didn't notice it before.

Why yes, it is creepy. That'll keep the kids away from your house on Halloween. Heck, it'll probably keep them off your block!

A friend of mine has one of these. It is from Target, and was a store display for their Halloween merchandise 2 years ago (I think). They were either hung from the ceiling or attached to a side wall.

It kinda looks like a lens from an old lighthouse. Lighthouses had several large lenses around its lamp to focus the light into beams that could be seen at great distances through mist and fog.

thanks guys on the lens guess,but I found the answer.
It is a antique TV screen collector/magnifier.
You would set it in front of your little 12" tv screen and you could watch from across the room.

Hey David...

There were 3 of these in the "series".

Here is a pic I have of them on display in a store window. The clown, Princess, and clown/fireman:

Its always cool to find something that seems like a one-off and then discover that there is a duplicate of it somewhere out there.....and that it had more in the series

I agree...the clown is the best!

That Liz, I tell ya!...Needles in haystacks have nothing on her! :D I gotta post a pic of a couple somethings I picked up. I am a cheapskate and only look for stuff usually under $20( because I'm not rich, AND we make a game out of what we can score on the cheap, only IF it is cool :wink: )...I still cannot find much of flamingo stuff, but when one appears, it is costly, usually way above the $20 mark. I'm always looking though, and my girl also keeps her eyes scanning. Pic coming soon.
