<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m hoping someone can help. We have a plaster model of a thresher shark from the Hunterian collections at the University of Glasgow, it was purchased from Wards Natural History Establishment, Rochester, N.Y. USA in 1920 and was on display
for a while before ending up in a neighbouring museum’s store room as part of a long term loan. I’m either looking for an idea of what it would cost to get a new life size thresher shark model or an idea of what this original plaster model would be worth.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been in touch with Ward’s but am still waiting for a reply.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
