November 2000 ex Bob Lipe Collection --- from a small box of rare shells we came across. These shells are all nice as described. Prices are asking price.--------In addition to our normal inventory every year I buy up a select group of specimens to offer my customers. I try to select shells that are unusual with rarity or other features. This is one of these selections. Enjoy the shells.----- These are some of Bob's specimen shells from his inventory. The marginella collection is his specialized life's work and special inventory. Marginellas were Bob's passion. He wrote several books on them. I am selling these for Bob's son and will be listing them in the Marginella store section as well as auction. Bob and Betty were family friends. I remember my dad taking me into The Shell Store when I was six years old to start my collection. From that point I started collecting shells in Florida by walking beaches and flats and snorkeling and then started selling specimens in the late 1990's. These Marginella and other shell listings from this collection as well as general specimens from our friends at the Shell Store will begin with "SS RFM" Our other shells from Bob Lipe Collection are as follows: We just acquired a collection of shells and books and will be presenting these items for sale. This was the collection and remaining store inventory from Bob and Betty Lipe. Bob and Betty were the key shell people in the Tampabay area and Worldwide for specimen shells and commercial crafts. Bob was famous for his work with Marginella and wrote a book on this family of shells. They were both key figures in the St. Petersburg Shell Club. All listings from this collection will begin with "BL RFM" We respectfully request that you make a $10 minimum on store purchases.
