Oddities - Season 2 - Eps 9: Hedgehog Homolog
At Obscura Antiques and Oddities Evan and Ryan meet an artist whose favorite medium is bodily secretions -- but now she wants to go in a different direction, and needs something she can really sink her teeth into. Then, a sideshow performer requests a usable prop from Coney Island's heyday. Later, customers come to the shop with what they think is an old leather diving helmet, only to find that there is more to this helmet than they thought.
