    I am surprised it doesn't have ink on it.
    It's probably a pretty good Hallowe'en present.

    Otters tail!

    It's horrible and massively impractical.

    I wonder what year it was made? Looks like the worst excess of the Edwardian period.

    No idea. I wonder when it'll be sold. I go into the shop about once a fortnight.

    I didn't see it on my last visit, but some things had been moved around so I might not have looked in the right place.

    Imagine if you were an otter...

    Oh look, it's Great Uncle Oswald. Wait. What's that? It's only plated?! How could they?!

    It had moved around the shop.

    It finally went about 6 weeks ago to a woman who didn't even haggle. The shop owner was quite surprised.
