Over 120 year old European Croc skull and Gator skull

Discussion in 'For Sale' started by dshorty48@yahoo.com, May 25, 2018.

  1. Both Euro mounts have been on display at the Everglades Wonder Gardens Museum in Bonita Springs Fl. for the past 60 plus years (now out of business). They were estimated at 60 plus years old at time of death. They were both appraised at $17,000 for the pair. I can send pics upon request. Make us an offer. Call or text to 239-281-7749.

    Possibly interested in the croc only but, can you define "out of business"? The place essentially belongs to the town of Bonita Springs and is still very much open. Only hours ago they just updated their Facebook page with new photos of an addition being made to the gardens.

    In 2014, a group of local residents formed the Bonita Wonder Gardens Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. With generous financial assistance, in the form of a loan from the City of Bonita Springs, the new organization was able to purchase the property and business assets in April 2015, saving it from potential commercial development.
     

  3. I dont know the specifics of why or what happened with the business. I know it was owned by the Pipers and Mr. Piper contacted me about selling the items for him. He told me that all State and federal paperwork will be included. Let me know what you are willing to pay for the Croc only, and I will present it to him. I will get answers to any question you may have. Thank you, Shorty
