I was wondering if anyone familiar with the history of taxidermy would know about a mounting called "Interlocking Horns." It was done in 1908--two big bucks found dead with their horns interlocked. Charles H. Eldon did the mounting which has been called a masterpiece. I have a photo of the mounting with an article pasted on the back, which is signed by Eldon.
Is this worth anything to anyone?

I dont know really, but to me its something as I collect pics of locks. Plus I like old taxidermy stuff. Where did you get that from?
I won a box lot of stuff at an estate auction about 15 years ago. It was in a box of old photography equipment.
I read something on a old time taxidermist named Eldon but I can't remember when or where. I think he was from Canada or Maine ?
Where was that estate sale held ?
I have a brochure from either him or his immediate successor. About a month ago Eldon was mentioned on this site RC.
The photo has an article about Eldon on the back. He was from Williamsport, PA, which is up near the New York State border. I've gotten a few responses from this post. I had no idea that anyone would be interested in this photo. The estate sale was in Cape May, NJ about 15 years ago, but I don't even remember whose estate it was. It has been hanging in the family room ever since. But the wife redid the room last month and said it had to go. I have photos of it if anyone would like to see it, drop me an e-mail.
