FROM THE FAMOUS SUNDERLAND COLLECTION OF FLORIDA.
THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SOLD. I HAD IT IN STORAGE FOR EXACTLY 30yrs. I WENT TO JUDGE A SHELL SHOW IN AUSTRALIA IN 1992 & MET AN ADVANCED STROMBIDAE COLLECTOR. HE TOOK A HUGE AMOUNT OF SHELLS FROM ME AND WAS SUPPOSE TO SEND EITHER SHELLS OR A PAYMENT. HE SINCE BECAME A PROFESSIONAL MALACOLOGIST. HE ASKED ME TO GET THE BEST STROMBS FOR WHEN I WENT BACK TO FL. I DID. HE NEVER SETTLED UP ON EITHER EVEN THOUGH I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO GET THESE STROMBS FOR HIM & I PAID FOR THEM. SO I FOUND THIS HUGE BOX IN MY STORAGE LOCKER TODAY & DECIDED TO SELL THEM.
BY THE WAY I'M NOT OFFERING ANY DISCOUNTS ON ANY OF THESE STROMBS. THEY'RE ALL LARGE, THICK & HEAVY AND WON'T FIT INTO THE STANDARD USPS PRIORITY SMALL FLAT RATE BOX OF (5.375 x 8.625 x 1.625). BUT I'M STILL CHARGING THE .45 RATE FOR A MUCH SMALLER & LIGHTER ITEM SO ME PAYING THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE YOUR DISCOUNT.
SHIPPED FAST BY USPS PRIORITY MAIL USA TO USA! SHIPPING IS CURRENTLY .10 FOR A 2lb 7X7X6 PRIORITY BOX.
