Pandora's Cabinet of Peculiarities & Extraordinary Curiosity Shop

Diaphonized Pinky Mice

Diaphonized Pinky Mice

This is a photograph of 3 pinky mice that were undergoing the final processing stages of diaphonization. We were one of the first shops and animal processors to bring this process to consumers to own and appreciate in their own home. The process is rapidly growing in popularity, but we have several years of experience and wholesaling our finished product behind us. You can be sure our specimens are properly preserved for longevity and beauty.

This contains several various animal skulls, some funerary items and two different exploded skulls created by Greg, along with a peek at our sample teeth and stereoscopic skin disease cards. 

Antique Human Skeleton

Antique Human Skeleton

Meet Uncle Charlie, He is ever present in our shop. He is an antique medical skeleton that was previously owned by an Oddfellow's lodge and used in their ceremonies. He is a half skeleton which means he has no legs, but the rest of him is intact. His skull is uncut. He comes with his custom built coffin with it's original maker's label. Please contact us if you're interested in purchasing Uncle Charlie (and be aware he is a smoker)

This is a beautiful compilation of artwork done for various bibles by the famed Gustave Dore. We usually have at least one book in stock illustrated by him as he is one of our favorites. We have dozens and dozens of antique books, many religious and medical. If you don't see it, ask!

This is another gorgeous European style mount of a rare African specimen. We purchase taxidermy estates and this came from the estate of a lifelong conservationist. His collection brought us numerous beautiful skull and taxidermy mounts to share with you. 

Beautiful Warthog

Beautiful Warthog

We have had many pig skulls, and many taxidermy boar specimens but this warthog is an incredible example of vintage taxidermy. It is massive and has been mounted with a beautifully lifelike expression.

These are sections of diaphonized snake vertebrae in small vials. These can easily be made into pendants like our mouse part pendants. We take custom orders on diaphonized specimens (based on animals available to us at any given time)
