I came across this ad for a vintage embalming autopsy table. Somthing that no house should be without! It's a steal at only $500! Okay, enough with my sarcasm. But really, what in the world would a person do with one of these things? I guess it's time to get creative...I could put a piece of glass on the top and make it into a dining table...I could set the TV on it and call it an entertainment center...I could put a piece of foam on it and make it into a bed...I could put it in the garage and use it as a potting bench...hmm...
Here's what the seller has to say about it:
"Vintage Royal Bond Porcelain Embalming Autopsy Table. Measure 31" Wide By 80" Long. Very Heavy Will Need Several People To Move It. Still Has It's Head Rest.
Asking $800 OBO PRICE REDUCED $500 "
In case you can think of a great use for this piece and can't imagine your home without it, here's a link to the original ad.
Have a great Saturday!
Yikes! This fall I found an aluminum coffin at the Round Top Flea market in Warrenton, Texas. Of course, I just took a picture, but the guy selling it was proposing it as a beverage holder for an outdoor party. Stan
ReplyDeleteick. bad feng shui for sure
ReplyDeleteObviously a must-have for the sloppy prep cook. I know of several goth kids who would probably love it just because it had dead people on it. As for me, I completely agree with Pam. REALLY bad feng shui!!
ReplyDeleteIt just amazes me with what some people try to sell - and I'm sure that they will find a buyer for it somewhere. I came up with another idea - put it in the laundry room and use it for folding clothes!
ReplyDeleteWow... I just spit out my coffee! I could see this in a Haunted house, or maybe part of a movie set haha it would make a great "mother-in-law guestroom peice! haha wow.... for a time there was a place downtown selling a "human spine" bones yuck and all... for $25 simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteLOL actually....we have one of these. We recently moved into a BEAUTIFUL Victorian home...downside...it used to be a funeral home and out of all the things that they left us; they didn't leave the beautiful candle sconce that I wanted...no! they left their antique embalming table...so what do with an antique embalming table? Find a crazy person on craigslist with warped ideas of a "fun" table I guess. I hope this person sold it...maybe they'll want another one ;)
