    Follow up: I sold this prosthetic for 5x what I paid for it, in less than a week, at the antique mall.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Last night there was a repeat of an Antiques Roadshow (US) episode called "Body of Work" all about items that look like body parts that were appraised in past shows.
