Vintage 50’s electric archtop guitar
This instrument was presumably built in the Netherlands and dates back to the 1950’s. This old boy got some bluesy roots!
This unique guitar would be the perfect decor piece to hang on the wall of a bar, cabin or mancave!
After 70 years the guitar remains in good condition but shows signs of wear and use.
The patina it got due to many years of playing only adds to it’s character by giving it this relic look!
Due to years of temperature changes the wooden neck bent downwards making it difficult to tune and play.
Perhaps it might still be useable for slide playing.
Except of minimal treatment and replacing the strings I decided to leave the guitar in its original condition and leave it up to the next owner to either keep it that way or fully restore it.
I cannot guarantee that the pickup is till functional, I haven’t been able to try it out because of its old jack connection.

Antique early 19th century whaling harpoon
No, this is no orc spear or some other movie prop but you might consider this an as cruel device.
This crude tool actually is a real whaling harpoon, used in the early 1800’s!
Although I hope we all agree that hunting these majestic creatures is a horrible occasion, the whaling industry has been very important to the European history and economy. Back then the oil that was obtained from whales was used to produce many everyday products such as lamp oil, candles, and soap and therefor was essential. Sadly overhunting the arctic seas for centuries has been devastating to the populations of many whale species. Because of its dark past, mixed vibes remain attached to this rare relic though I still consider it a true piece of history that comes with loads of adventurous tales!
It was hand-wrought and forged in iron with a cone to attach a wooden handle.
This relic would be an unique piece to add to your whaling collection or cabinet of curiosities!
After almost two centuries the harpoon remains in worn condition and shows an oxidised patina.
After sanding off the coarse rust the iron tool has been treated with antique wax to give the surface a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish.
