Humanatone Nose flute

I haven't been able to nasal any noise out of this thing but it is a pretty cool instrument. They still make plastic versions but these early ones apparently are somewhat sought after for un-usable music collections. I think they may have been used in one-man-bands but I'm not really sure, I think I may have heard it on an old Smithsonian collection once too.

Here is a great blog dedicated completely to this interesting wonder of the nose.

19th Century Banjo

My ultimate plan is to make a clock from this ancient looking banjo skeleton, as it sits it is dusty but great looking. Still has remnants of the original skin and some of the original pegs. No factory or manufacturer information, cellulose inlays.
