Can someone provide some background info on the above establishment? 

Recently I purchased a couple of interesting shells online with labels from "The  Shell Shop   Ocracoke NC"  

I was curious as to  who ran the place what years were they open....etc.....the two shells  I got were collected in the late 1970s on or near Ocracoke. 

There certainly does not appear to be anything resembling a shell shop on Ocracoke at present, but does anybody know if it is possible to buy local  shells when there- I've seen some online posts that could be fairly recent that showed neighborhood children who set up little stands selling their finds to tourists. 

Thanks.
