Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
I got the skin from local taxidermist for about half of the current wholesale value. Have a tying materials wholesaler that may take 1/2 and the rest will be cut up and sold in sections.

Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
If you are planning on selling any of it in the US you will need to provide the buyer with a proof of orgian proveing the it is from a skin taken before 1969. Other wise the buyer could be subject to heavey fines and jail time.

Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
Anchorage, there is a native American bar,carry to go to the ladies room, all is for sale; next door on the main street in the city is a Native American arts center, ask for Polar Icicles...they are a strip of PB with doll eyes and felt attached, with receipt of origins. All legal for $10. It maybe is for sale on almost any reservation, along with the tax free gas and ciggs Peggy The Smiths wrote: If you are planning on selling any of it in the US you will need to provide the buyer with a proof of orgian proveing the it is from a skin taken before 1969.

Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
Finding some rare tying material gets a fly tyer all excited. I have read most of the posts regarding the polar bear. Many are interested in purchasing some of it. I am not trying to insinuate that Harmon did not win the tying material lottery but I have not seen any posts asking about the condition of the hair. There used to be a furrier in Vancouver and I purchased a lot of polar bear from them over the years and one thing you must look for are split ends on the hair. Secondly if the hide is quite old the hair may be very brittle unless it was well cared for . Finding a polar bear hide is not common but the quality of the hair may not make it suitable for resale. Just food for thought Mel - Original Message - From: Harmen Boshuis To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 9:48 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Polar Bear I should have said selling (except to US) as I am aware of the regulations.

Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
I got a piece of PB a few years back when i lived in Washington State and it was 24x24 inches and it cost me 10.00 i could have gotten the whole skin but i didn't need all of it and was abit worried about having a large piece if i got caught with it.There was no way i could explain where i got it or who i got it from so for everyones protection i passed on the large amount.I had a friend that got caught up with fish and game because he had about 50 eagle feathers he had picked up while on the Skagit river and that was fun. - Original Message - From: Wes Wada To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 9:08 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Polar Bear On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 5:49 PM, Alan Di Somma phxflyt...@cox.net wrote: Harmen: You neglected to divulge where your buy of the day was found.

Re: [VFB] Polar Bear
Now are you cutting it up into 2x2 pieces and marketing it? If so let me know. I found a mink stole a few years ago at a 2nd hand store and it became flytying material. Yours looks too nice but mine was a little messed up but cheap and good for tying.
