    That one in the middle definitely inspired some adult toys.

    Oh, right. The truncheon. The truncheon for criminals, the truncheon chosen especially to beat criminals…

    The third one is flanged for safety and tapered for easy insertion.

    Some of these look like dildos.

    Constable Odo’s staff was minimalistic, compared to these adorned ones.

    I like the 3rd one from the top since it appears to be nicely weighted, and it can double as a dildo.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
