There is a pile of it and photographing it all is a MAJOR pain but I took a few pictures of some of it. Most of it appears to be dated in the 20's and 30's. Can anyone help me out on what it is worth or what I should ask for it? I have nothing clever to put here.

Some of it looks like there is some slight damage, which isn't surprising for items that are 80 or so years old. I've seen Sears Tips to trappers sell for $30.00 to $35.00 in very good condition. Shipping tags are $5.00 or so, depending on rarity. You are going to get the most for it by breaking it up in to small groups. Gonna by a pain to ship small lots. Good Luck. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Consider it compensation for all the advice I've given you over the years....... www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Honestly, the pictures don't do them justice. Many or most are in the original envelopes. Cool stuff. I have nothing clever to put here.
