someone did a really good job of creating a fake dragon, especially consider the time - 1890s - when it was thought to have been made.

Far out. Possible conclusions:

1. If made in 1890, it's real.
2. If made after, a gifted "artist" created it.

My guess? Fake, else the owner would be tripping over themselves to get it to a scientist or lab for their own curiosity, which has not happened. Nor would an organic being have been preserved in such a pristine state in an above ground, unprotected, evaporating solution of anything for 100 years.
Fake fake fake. Move along before it comes to life and reproduces since dragons are supposed to live forever according to the song.

BWA HAHAHA!!

There are medical museums full of organic material preserved sealed in formaldehyde for 100 years or more. I believe a museum in Washington DC has the pickled amputated leg of a general from the Civil War actually.

X-rays or other scans could easily tell. It wouldn't surprise me though if such testing is never done... as such a critter wouldn't fit into accepted scientific dogma. Wouldn't want to rock the boat now, eh?
