Mental Asylum Morgue Tags

These authentic corpse tags come from the notorious Harlem Valley State Hospital, which closed in 1994. The hospital was chartered “for the care and treatment of the insane” and included buildings and infrastructure that were previously used as the Wingdale Prison. The hospital gained fame in the 1930s as a pioneer in implementing the new treatment of electroshock therapy, and in the 1940s Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center became the preeminent institution for frontal lobotomy in the state of New York. 

Each tag comes on your choice of stainless steel chain or adjustable leather cord. If you would prefer a different length of chain or leather cord, please include a note at checkout.
