    Up for Auction Vintage 1960's Genuine Large Bear Paw Hippopus Clam Seashell, 310 Grams
    , Large Bear Paw Hippopus Clam Shell (it is only 1/2 of the Shell)and it was Found by my Grandfather that was an avid traveler, diver, Marine Biologist and he traveled all over the world.  He found this beautiful shell in somewhere in California / Baja which was already dead and split open only 1/2 was found in the sand.  All of his Shells were his
    Pride and Joys, as he had told me & labeled most of this collections, with the dates, places, and names of the shell.  He told me when I was little all about the shells, and he just lit up when he talked about all his travels.
    This RARE
    beauty is in EXCELLENT Condition & shape, considering how big it is. It is still beautifully patterned, vividly colored,
    heavy, and would look BEAUTIFUL IN A CURIO CABINET, or your Fish Tank OR USED AS A PAPERWEIGHT.  I Hate to get rid of some of his Multiple Collections, but my house is about to BURST, and they have just been in storage for so many years, and they need to go to a loving home from which they came from!!  Would make a BEAUTIFUL & GREAT Gift for a S
    hell Lover / Collector that has a First Class Collection.
    It measures approx. 6" Long x 4 1/2" Wide x 3 1/2" Tall and it weighs 309 Grams / 10.9 oz.
    As for normal disclaimers, I do the best I can with photos, but color is tricky, especially since all cameras are different as are laptops & cellphone color pixels. The camera changes the color, and damn if I can figure out how to stop that from happening, but I try, honest!  ALSO, UNLIKE MANY SELLERS WITH SIMIULAR ITEMS, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES IS THE ACTUAL PIECE YOU WILL RECEIVE.
