Mark Gregory Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 This has got to be one of the best wanted threads for a long time! If I could catch the squirrels who have half inched all my walnuts he would be more than welcome...... although he would have to stuff it himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Cardwell Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Do keep us posted on the saga of the stuffed squirrel, perhaps he should have several squirrels on the tree, or is that being silly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grubbster Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Colin (the seller of the squirrel above) is one of life's fantastic characters (I suppose you have to be a bit different to stuff animals!) - I'm sure he'll have a selection of stuffed roadkill you could add to the tree. Ask him if he still has the emu in his deep freeze - quite a story attached to it! Solent Se7ens Web!

Alan Bowler Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Looks like Grubster has provided the solution! POBC indeed. For the record, the reply I got was: There's a taxidermists shop in N1 (near Old St, I think) called Get Stuffed. eBay is best bet though. These things aren't really produced anymore and are regarded as sought-after Victoriana so proper auction houses or online dealers might charge a hefty sum for them. Ebay will doubtless be cheaper -the majority of my bits and pieces have come via eBay. Edited by - Alan Bowler on 24 Nov 2010 11:57:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
