About the television show, Oddities.
Precious Obscure Oddities

Imagine existing, a shop
who sells only the strange. In that area, anything you can think of, covering a wide range. Like stepping into a camera "Obscura," everything is left to right, upside is down and strange to your senses, which questionably will delight. How about a doll to make your little girl cry? Torture device or medical quackery to ply? Someone sold their stuffed cat? You can own fossilized dinosaur scat? How about a bowel reforming chair that shakes? A device to harnesses the energy of earthquakes? My God! That one I would not want to employ! But perhaps it is a carefully disguised... A Victorian adult novelty to enjoy? Art from human hair, fingernails and belly button lint. Also oddities you would never figure out, even after getting a substantial hint. But the shop's best Oddities are those they can't sell or buy. It's their customers who gleefully stop by! You can walk all over them, even on a bed of nails; others put on wild shows to get cheaper sales. A passionate few are ever living performers; even creating robot porn or artificial limb reformers. You might talk to a wild woman with a forked tongue, best be dead before learning about Mortician's bungs. From fully articulated skeletons to miscellaneous bones, The people there are more than happy to find a two headed calf a loving new home. Personal statements don't always make me feel proud, but I love being included with this entertaining crowd! Yes, they walk in with their blinders from interestingly bizarre people to some really odd finders. Dispense with that shaped box of chocolates, and buy her a real pickled human heart. Joking the chest hole and hair with the trajectory indicated shows you two that Cupid hit his mark. Obscura Antiques and Oddities in New York is that wonderful store. Oddities the TV show has strange items and interesting people galore. True collectibles can't be bought, it is that wacky world of true characters of independence that should be sought. |
Considering I am always exploring and always looking, I happened on to this show and fell in love with it every since. They can be found on the Science Channel, as well Discovery Channel, and is like a Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, but where you can walk in an purchase things.
They sell a wide variety of items that any other antique story would be hard pressed to carry. Very old medical devices, items revolving around medical quackery, strange electrical contrivances, to discarded parts of the human body such as gall and kidney stones. Taxidermy, bones and old entertainment props be it a bed of nails to these toy looking cars that were actually raced by monkeys. The store definitely suffers with bugs as they also carry and sell numerous varieties.
Just as odd, but special in the unique ways are the people that come in to by and sell these items. Music and side show performers, actors and actresses, artists and other people from the more eclectic and esoteric sides of life.
They deal with old and odd antiques, buying and selling; in addition to chasing around, looking for people's requests.
