The sale of the unusual will always be the usual. Here’s a ship made out of beef bones and hair that’s expected to sell for £30,000. The sails are made of tissue paper, the rigging is made of human hair, and beef bones were used for the hull of the British Royal Navy Ship HMS Victory. It’s 28 inches long and was made by French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s.

Other details include anchors, belfry and ship's boats. It is even fitted with pull cords with bone finials for operating the guns. The model had been in the private collection of the world's greatest collector of antique Dutch weapons, Henk Visser. Bonhams' marine works of art specialist Lionel Willis said: "Models of this size and quality do not come to auction that frequently, and always attract keen attention from buyers." (dailymail)
