Hypothetically if I had the Information that says it is legal to be sold and from the early 1900's. How much would a piece like this be worth? I personally have no idea because I have never seen anything like it.

I am in the NJ/PA area and as much as I hate to, I have to sell it. My family is moving to Hawaii and we would rather not take the chance to ship it or even move it ourselves. If anyone is in the area and interested or knows any one that would offer a fair price please email me or PM me. Thank you Very much everyone for all of your help with this piece!

Great idea Mart! I didn't even think of that. I will try and identify it too.

I agree with you Wayward. The last thing I want to do is get in trouble or do something morally unethical with it. It is a great piece and I would love to have it in a museum or someplace where people can actually enjoy it.

I came in possession of an antique taxidermy sea turtle, that I don't know much about. The only thing I know is they are endangered and it is legal to own or sell if the piece can be dated before 1977. I know for a fact that the piece was picked up in the far east in the early 1900's. I however have no documentation or proof that says it is that old. Does anyone know if and how taxidermy can be dated so I can prove it is legal? I am looking to sell this piece, if anyone has any information on taxidermy turtles or what price this should be at please help!! Thanks for looking!

Thank you very much. I know it is a very beautiful piece, However it is a pain to move and reassemble. The only thing I know about it is that it supposedly came off a ship in the early 1900's from norfolk Virginia.
