Unclaimed Baggage "Flirting" Fan from the 1800s This hand-painted "flirting fan" from the Victorian period is gilded in gold and reinforced with intricately-carved bone. Ladies in Europe used these fans to subtly communicate with men at social gatherings from the 16th to 19th centuries. The small "flirting mirror" in the fan's top right corner allowed a lady to discreetly see whether her flutters were achieving the desired effect. (Unclaimed Baggage)

Unclaimed Baggage Hoggle from "Labyrinth" One of Unclaimed Baggage's most well-known finds is the four-foot-tall goblin puppet Hoggle, a character from Jim Henson's film. Hoggle arrived in a deteriorated condition as the materials used to build him weren't meant to last long term. He was restored by a master doll doctor and artist and now resides in the entryway at Unclaimed Baggage. (Unclaimed Baggage)
