\"Humidor\"Hey look! It’s another place to spend entirely too much money! I need to stop finding these.<\/p>\n

Fivehands Curiosity Shoppe<\/a> specializes in “strange medical devices, Victorian oddities, macabre and dark antique items, scarce erotica, bones, cemetery, occult and more. Strong focus on a dark design element is key.” If Morticia Addams decided to open an antique store, it’d probably look a lot like this.<\/p>\n

They don’t appear to have a brick-and-mortar location, so sales are handled through their Etsy shop<\/a>. Some of their pieces like this<\/a> Victorian humidor are (for obvious reasons) fairly spendy, but they have other items like this<\/a> vintage cast-iron candle holder that are wonderfully appealing and shouldn’t blow your budget.<\/p>\n

In addition to the shop they’ve also got a Tumblr<\/a> site, blog<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a> page where they discuss some of their acquisitions in more detail. There’s also a main .com site<\/a> which is rather sparse, although it does include a small gallery of interesting items (I particularly lust after the Victorian dissection kit).<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to build a collection of unusual vintage items, this is a great place to browse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
