It’s at Pacific Galleries this week, on 2/21 & 2/22. Dozens of taxidermy and sideshow items for sale, including a full size giraffe head, a complete lion, and sideshow freaks such as the “Peruvian Wolf Boy” mummy and a shrunken head under glass made of monkey skin.
Also available for sale are some “rogue taxidermy” items such as 6-legged rabbits and other such sideshow gaff made to imitate a mysterious find from the natural world. It’s hard to believe, but there are actually several artists currently working in this field today. Roadkill Artist
Couldn’t make the auction? Have a burning desire to own a dried turkey head, punk-rock squirrel, a boar hear under glass or Mummified Magic Mystery Hand Box? Check out Custom Creature Taxidermy.
Wanna Mouse Torso, Evil Eye, or Exploding Frog? Liquid Fish
How about an Aligator Boy, 3-Clawed Scorpion or a Baby Dragon? Fiendish Curiosities
UPDATE: Steve Bard jus sent me this link…. a guy who dresses up taxidermy in human clothes……Well-Dressed Dead Animals
