MITRA PLICARIA 45mm Philippine Islands back in 1971

Description

ALL OF THE SHELLS FOR SALE HERE WERE COLLECTED FROM THE 1950s TO THE 1990s.  I PURCHASE ONLY FROM ESTABLISHED OLD COLLECTIONS,
NEVER NEWLY COLLECTED.
There are thousands of specimens that will go up for sale in the coming months so add me to your favorite seller list to receive notifications as I list them.
These shells were kept in a premium Museum Environment.
Most shells have their original ID specimen tags and were collected in the pre-computer era so the tags are written or typed, not from computer fonts.
I do not grade shells as their beauty knows not of such boundaries, but this shell is pretty darn close, if not a
GEM Quality
. Many are even
RARE TO FIND IN SITU
these days.
I let the pictures and the provenance of the shell show the uniqueness of its beauty.  The white spots are from the photography lights. ID tags will come with the shell for the winner of the bid.  Please, check this shell out carefully before bidding
.
If a refund is warranted postage will be at the buyer’s cost.
I will consider all offers sent to me, either auction style or fixed price.
Please bid for as many shells as you would like to have, then just let me know to send your invoice prior to paying.
If you pay prior to requesting the invoice, then it will be posted and mailed individually.
I will ship it at the least cost to you.
I thank you in advance for shopping here.
I am an Environmentalist in Oregon and I love all trees! Therefore, I recycle and reuse boxes and packing materials.
Your treasured item will be adequately packaged but it will not be from newly minted cardboard box.
I thank you for understanding this.
