I got a set of "not very accurate" nesting weights https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co57976/nest-of-bronze-cup-weights-of-ratisbon-gold-ducat-weight-1500-1699-cup-weight  A blurry photo of a Romanov prince sledding https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8685362/the-anitchkoff-palace-sliding-down-the-hill-photograph-silver-gelatin-print  And a "uterine douche" https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co137384/uterine-douche-uterine-douches  I love this. I'm going to look at every unlooked thing.

The uni I teach at does an annual cull which rotates through the library of congress system in some pattern over I think 30 years or some drat thing. They'll send out an email saying "these books are being culled because they have not left their spot on the shelf even once in the last 30 years, in addition to the reasons such as condition, edition, duplication, etc" with a spreadsheet of every title that's going, and instructions for what to do if you want the books. Every year when the cull announcement hits a reply-all flurry begins with people crowing THIS IS VIOLENCE!!!!

These are the same people who when they were teenagers thought that touching a calculator or a book would make your dick fall off and turn you into a Revenge of the Nerds style of nerd. They're just old now.
