So what is the weirdest thing you saw in a charity shop today?

Options
As a fan of the thread on all our charity shop bargains I thought you might join me in this thread of the oddest/weiredest things you saw while trawling through the charity shops to nab those bargains.

Today I saw a box of snail shells for use with canned snails (can't imagine anyone round here buying them)! :rotfl:
A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    My nan had a box of porcelain snail shells with gilded edges. Have no idea why as she wasn't french and didn't like eating the nasty chewy things LOL

    A spinning chair...that is, a chair specially designed for use with a spinning wheel. A friend had told me it was there (because I do spin) so I went along to have a look today. But they'd priced it at £70, eek. I could buy a new one for that!

    I was very tempted recently by a set of braille dominoes.
