The cranium on mine opens up to receive a plastic brain. Fortunately, no attempt was made to reproduce the color or texture of
that! The pin is actually a place to mount a spring, also visible in Latinbob's image, so the jaw stays closed but can be opened up if need be. This might also be done to a real skull.
I am wondering if the bottle of HCl is real though. I see no handle on the glass stopper. A cork or rubber stopper would be too difficult and dangerous to open if this bottle really contained concentrated hydrochloric acid. (I have handled the real thing.) The air bell at the top of this bottle also troubles me and seems to indicate that the bottle is lying at quite an incline from vertical and indeed may be as little as 15 degrees from lying on its back.
