Question of the Day

What's the strangest item you've ever seen in an antique, resale, or second-hand shop?

Following up on the Antiques with Deeks miniseries, during one of my recent shopping excursions, I picked up this lovely item (left).

It's a bottle that once contained embalming fluid.

I've no idea how old it is, but it's pretty darn cool. Better than a Gabe Kaplan puzzle, that's for sure.

The bottle now sits next to the tub and stores bubble bath.
