Aussie Possum
 
I found a source for Australian Possum skins, not too far from where I
live. The catch is, they are a mail order company. I can't waltz in and
buy a pelt. They also have a $50 limit to order. i don't need 2 skins
- a little dubbing goes a long way. Does anybody care to go in on an
order with me? They are $35 a piece. The company also sells all sorts
of hair and hides. Anybody?

Pete-

Just let me know the company name and what they sell, and I'll take a look.
I'm pretty sure I need at least $15 of hair or hide, and we won't have to
reship or anything.

I bookmarked it after you posted it the other day. I'd
be interested in looking at one of their $10 dyed rabbit
skins in yellow, that'll get you to $45.

You can use it as a nappy maybe? Or wear it on your back to cover the
yellow streak?

More specifically, I can definitely do a pound of the australian possum
scrap fur, at $13, and a pine squirrel for $10. I'd consider going
halfsies on a nutria

That is the place. The hat would be great to wear when you go to visit
the old neighborhood in Brooklyn!

Maybe a 3rd guy wants in?
