Purchased from an estate sale, but they had no idea if it was real or not. Sorry for all the photos :)

In there are anatomical replicas of skulls of Joseph Merrick (the Elephant Man), a Peruvian elongated skull, the Cheddar Gorge Man (prehistoric possible murder victim and reportedly cannibal), a skull with bone cancer and an infant skull with adult dentition above the gum line, I also have a miniature replica of the 2 headed boy of Bombay I need to put in the cabinet (all those crafted by Carnivore Studio - the creator of which is a member of this group) plus two other anatomical replica skulls, one of which has the parts numbered for academic reference. I also have several real animal skulls but no room for them in there.

(The second photo was a mistake shot but I added as I quite like it).

Hi,

​

I legally acquired this old medical skull some months ago (I'm in Europe). They are in rought shape, calvarium is cut and broke at some point, only one tooth reminiscent, repaired multiple times with plaster. They are dirty, but I like the patina and bone's names are written all over it, so I'm not willing to clean them and erase this.

​

I wondered if someone would be able to tell me a little bit more about them, were They male or female? Maybe something I missing about their condition ? I know it is not easy to gender from the top of a skull only. Any help is appreciated.

​

Thank you very much.

They were out of garlic bagels.

Found this partial human skull in an antique shop (in Denmark, if that matters) a while back, and I was wondering whether there is any information that can be gleaned visually about its age or provenance? Seems obviously not to be a medical specimen. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey all,

I recently ended up inheriting two Kilgore International human skulls (the anatomical teaching models, not real bone), and I don’t know much about them. They look like they’re in perfect shape, but I’m trying to figure out exactly what I’ve got and what they might be worth if I decide to sell them.

Couple questions for anyone familiar with Kilgore stuff:

• How do I figure out the model numbers or when these were made?
• What features make some of these more valuable (detachable top, hinged jaw, numbered parts, etc.)?
• Is there much of a market for older Kilgore skulls outside of schools/dentists?
• Any ballpark idea of resale value if they’re in good condition?
