200-year-old condom made from sheep's
intestine sells for £462
A condom which measures an impressive 19cm and made from
sheep's intestine about 200 years ago has sold for a staggering
£462 on online auction site, Catawiki. The condom which is
thought to be in use around the 18th and 19th century was
expensive and took a lot of time to make hence only the rich could
afford them. This was before the advent of rubber condoms in
the 19th century.
Condoms from the Middle Ages were made from the intestines of
sheep, pigs, calves and goats. The condom which was found in
France sparked a bidding war which saw it sell for more than
double its estimated value making it the most expensive in the
world.
