@Betty people cleaning out their grandparents estates
@Satsuma there were approximately 80 prepared beaver pelts. All of them had been stretched on a frame. I'm concerned about what grandpa has been up to.
@Satsuma @duinath okay, fair. Yes, this I am aware of. I know how many genuinely neat things you pull out of your attic and say "this should be saved, it's part of our history!" and then they end up in a museum basement somewhere because everybody has six of them in their attic.
It's just that these aren't wearable beaver, it's a bunch all cured and stretched, so slightly less likely to be in someone's closet.
@Satsuma @duinath they look like a stiff, featureless oval, furry on one side. Not much scope for taxidermy

(The illustration isn't bad, but if you click through it gets into slightly more detail than you may want on fur prep)
@Satsuma @duinath so many top hats
