[Nhcoll-l] Thresher shark model value

[Mike Rutherford]

Hi,

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.

I've been in touch with Ward's but am still waiting for a reply.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike
