A creepy Victorian taxidermy box has been hailed as the strangest find ever made by an antiques expert. The display, depicting the ancient nursery rhyme 'Who Killed Cock Robin?' is thought to date to around 1870. It head's to auction with a guide price of between £400-£600 when it goes under the hammer at the end of November, but is expected to sell for thousands. It was uncovered in Leicestershire by auctioneer Charles Hanson.
