This man has a very special collection:
Jon Ferry owns an incredible 200 bony collectibles and keeps them in a room in his apartment.
But why does a 22-year-old have a showroom with skeletons, spines and skulls in his home?
The student has specialized in trading skeletons.
That sounds macabre at first, but it has a scientific background.
Ferry acquires the medical bones from doctors and osteologists and passes them on to universities and other research institutions.
The love of bones begins in his childhood:
At the age of 15, Ferry was given a rat skeleton and a human skull by his father, who is a doctor.
The youngster promptly begins to collect animal skeletons with the aim of examining them for scientific projects.
Now the passion has become his profession.
You can buy a skull in his shop for around $2,000.
A tooth costs $14.
The student also offers many other pieces online.
Although the American’s work is legal in the United States, Ferry has repeatedly been criticized on social networks.
For the most part, however, he causes enthusiasm with his special collection: At Tiktok, the bone collector is followed by half a million people.
Several million people have already clicked on his videos.
It is important for the 22-year-old to emphasize that the traded bones were never part of burial sites or other burial rituals.
Even in Germany, the trade in bones is not strictly prohibited, so that doctors, researchers and medical students can do research on human skulls, for example.
