I’m friends with an older man who used to be paid by African govt to hunt lions and other game that attacked men. (Yes like spencer Dutton in 1923) His ancestors fought for confederacy. Dude has the coolest house ever with ivory handled colt pistols from the civil war, civil war sabers, daggers, muskets. He does really good paintings too I have some of his prints. He has all kinds of animals mounted, pelts, elephants tusks.


No telling what all that is worth. His whole house is basically a museum

I’d definitely take some of those vintage ornaments off their hands.

I started collecting crystal too so that as well.

Selling anything ivory has all sorts of thou-shall-not laws attached. Likewise pelts of endangered species. (Probably should contact sheiks and rulers of kingdoms. (other than Great Britain.)

Not the kind of stuff I expected Big Head to have. Definitely not awesome.

Kinda.....

Under Federal law, you can sell your African elephant ivory within your state (intrastate commerce) if you can demonstrate that your ivory was lawfully imported prior to the date that the African elephant was listed in CITES Appendix I (January 18, 1990).

Nice stuff. I’d like to have that world globe. We had one when I was a kid. I studied it while reading National Geographic and learned about the world.

Those gas stoves and kitchen stuff is top notch.

Antique, how much coin did you drop on the OUI collection? Demi Moore edition in there?

The stuff the guy I know has was from decades ago. He is in his 70s, most of it was from the 60-70s when those African nations were still colonies. It’s legal for him to have. Some of it is older than that as his father did the same hunts
