Are my mother advanced collectors. We ourselves have a collection at about 2300
European species, as well as land- freshwater- and marin shells in more than 150000
specimens, traded, selfcollected, out from our sortings of mould and shellgrit, a few
bought. So we have more than 42. Is 42 species of shells or the age of the collector.
I am aged 47, my mother is aged nearly 89. And James Cheshire is aged about 15.
So we are advanced. Hoping again for an answer. My shell collection will be at about
100 specimens poorer at the end of may, as I send some shells to the COA auction.
with best shelling greetings
