Lesser), a taxidermist and taxidermy supply company located in Johnstown, N.Y., various materials and services. VP: 1911-1920. The correspondence is from (1) R.A. Bonnell / Taxidermist (White House Station, N.J.) asking for a moose foot and a price list; (2) U.S. Pheasantry (Poughkeepsie, N.Y) offering six blue quail, Ring Neck cocks, and silver pheasants; (3) H.C. Batcheller & Co. / Furriers (Gloversville, N.Y.) offering the services of a newly hired German "expert Taxidermist skin dresser"; (4) Omaha Robe and Tanning Co. / Tanners Furriers and Dyers (South Omaha, NB) explaining their need of "some small scalps for small elk heads and deer"; (5) James P. Babbitt / Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Taxidermists' Supplies of All Kinds (Taunton, MA) forwarding payment for a recent shipment; (6) P.O. Fryklund / Taxidermist (Badger, MN) sending news that he is out of "extra scalps for deer" and offering the name of a possible supplier; and (7) Edwin Dixon / Expert Taxidermist (Unionville, Ontario) replying to a claim for damaged goods, suggesting that Lesser's complaint would be with the express company that handled the shipment. The Lessers advertised regularly in "Hunter, Trader, and Trapper," "Forest and Stream," and "Fur, Fish, and Game" through the 1910s. Some wear, but a very good lot. Seven sheets of business letterhead, 4to or 8vo, each folded for mailing. (11278).…

[London, John Cooper & Sons?], 1928. Taxidermy gilt-bordered bow-fronted case (45 x 25 x13 cm) in naturalistic setting. = With label 'Perch caught in the Ouse by John Catchpole, August 28th 1928, 1lb 7oz'. Taxidermy items with such detailed information are quite uncommon. The style of this case strongly reminds of those made by the London firm of J. Cooper and Sons, which was active from the mid-19th century until the 1950's. However, the Ouse is a river in Yorkshire, which may indicate that perhaps a northern taxidermist produced this excellent example of a mounted fish in its natural surroundings. The perch, Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus [German: Barsch; French: perche; Dutch: baars] is an angler's favourite throughout Europe. Some slight wear to the wood panelling, slight abrasion of the gilt border, otherwise in very good condition. Note: we do not ship this item outside the EU.…

Taxidermy on naturalistic base (41 cm tall, including base). = A very nicely made, vintage taxidermy parrot. The crimson rosella, Platycercus elegans (Gmelin) is a parakeet from southeastern Australia, in particular New South Wales and Tasmania, but also occurring localy along the Queensland sea board, and in the eastern parts of Victoria. Sometimes it is divided into several - up to seven - subspecies. This specimen seems to belong to the nominate form, but perhaps an expert may hold a different view. An attractive item. Note: we do not ship this item outside the EU.…

A handsome taxidermied barn owl mounted on a tree branch in a diorama style case with glass on three sides. The common barn owl, Tyto alba, is one of the most widely distributed of all bird species. Its evocative, ghostly appearance and haunting shriek has contributed to its reputation as an ill omen in international folklore. In ancient Egypt they were known as 'the one who laments', and as a hieroglyph were depicted in an unusual face-forward pose to highlight their striking features, just like this example. Taxidermied barn owl; late 20th century; mounted in a case with 3 glass sides, in a naturalistic setting with a tree branch, the case measuring 33 x 21 x 44.5 cm.…

A large and handsome taxidermied pike, mounted in a diorama depicting a stream bed with flowing plants. With a plaque stating that the fish was caught by Austin Haines at Mill Pool on August 28th, 1983, and weighed 7lbs 12 ozs. Taxidermied pike; 1983; mounted in a naturalistic diorama depicting a stream bed with flowing plants, housed in a rectangular case measuring 93 x 15 x 33.5 cm.…

An attractive taxidermied tawny owl mounted in a glass case with a naturalistic setting of ferns. Tawny owls are one of the most common owl species in the UK and live in a wide range of habitats, including urban and suburban gardens and parks. 'They are responsible for the most commonly heard owl sound, the classic, nocturnal "twit twoo" call, which most people are familiar with' (The Barn Owl Trust). Taxidermied tawny owl; late 20th century; mounted in a naturalistic setting on a fence post with ferns, moss and dead leaves, housed in a rectangular glass case measuring 32 x 24 x 55 cm.…

Norwich, T. E. Gunn, pre 1923. Taxidermy cased (41 x 31 x 17 cm) in naturalistic setting. Black wooden case with glass front; interior painted light blue. = A fine, wonderfully preserved, stuffed and cased specimen of a female common kestrel, Falco tinnunculus Linnaeus. [German: Turmfalke; French: faucon crécerelles; Dutch: torenvalk]. This falcon is one of the most successful birds-of-prey in the temperate regions of the Old World, occurring in a wide variety of landscapes. It preys on mice and other small animals. "The kestrel was once used to drive and keep away pigeons" (Wikipedia). This specimen probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The case differs from most such cases in having a more detailed and naturalistic setting. This must be the work of the renowned British taxidermist T. E. Gunn. There is no label of the firm, but we have seen very similar cases which are doubtlessly from this firm, moreover this item could be traced to the Norwich area. "Thomas Gunn.was born at Norwich in Norfolk. Gunn was apprenticed to John Sayer, a Norwich taxidermist, taking over the business on Sayer's death. A master craftsman, Gunn won medals and honours for his skill in the art of taxidermy. He ran the business [until] 1923 bearing his name. His son Frederick retired from his father's business in 1941. The firm closed its doors in 1950" (from the website, taxidermy4cash dotcom). Case with some wear, the interior clean and fresh. A beautiful example of taxidermy as a skill and an art. Please note: shipping overseas may be troublesome, please inquire first. We do not ship this item outside the EU. …

Norwich, T. E. Gunn, pre-1923. Taxidermy cased (40 x 30 x 15 cm) in naturalistic setting. Black wooden case with glass front; interior painted light blue. Printed label on rear board. = A fine, wonderfully preserved taxidermy cased specimen of the Eurasian sparrowhawk, Accipiter nisus (Linnaeus) [German: Sperber; French: épervier]. This little bird is one of Europe's most ferocious birds-of-prey, even hunting in city gardens. Its typical lifespan is four years, but the oldest-known lived for more than 20 years. Currently, the sparrowhawk is recovering from a population crash that occurred during the 1950-1980's due to pesticides. This specimen, however, is much older, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, predating 1923. The case differs from most such cases because of its more detailed and naturalistic setting. This is the work of the renowned British taxidermist Thomas Edward Gunn (1844-1923) of Norwich. With a label of his firm mounted on the rear board. The label provides a great deal of information on the scope of his business, including the sale of many different natural history objects, such as eggs, insects, preserved reptiles, fish, etc., etc. "Thomas Gunn . was born at Norwich in Norfolk. . Gun was apprenticed to John Sayer, a Norwich taxidermist, taking over the business on Sayer's death. A master craftsman, Gunn won medals and honours for his skill in the art of taxidermy. He ran the business [until] 1923 bearing his name. His son Frederick retired from his father's business in 1941. The firm closed its doors in 1950" (from the website, taxidermy4cash dotcom). Case with some wear, the label partly soiled and worn, the interior clean and fresh. A beautiful example of taxidermy as a skill and an art. Note: we do not ship this item outside the EU. …

Great Britain, [John Cooper and Sons?], ca. 1900. Taxidermy bow-fronted cased (41 x 39 x 20 cm) in naturalistic winter setting. Case with three glass panels (bow front and two side panels) and hanger. = An excellent Victorian taxidermy case - if not a small diorama - of a female common kestrel, Falco tinnunculus Linnaeus. (German: Turmfalke; French: faucon crécerelles; Dutch: torenvalk) catching a siskin, Spinus spinus (Linnaeus) (German: Erlenzeisig; French: tarin des aulnes; Dutch: sijs). Two fine, wonderfully preserved taxidermy cased specimens. This falcon is one of the most successful birds-of-prey in the temperate regions of the Old World, occurring in a wide variety of landscapes. It preys on mice and other small animals. "The kestrel was once used to drive and keep away pigeons" (Wikipedia). The siskin is a common European bird, more often seen during winter times. The case differs from most such cases because oif its more detailed and naturalistic setting. Case paint cover chipped here and there, especially at edges, otherwise very good. Note: we do not ship this item outside the EU. …
