NoteEXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 4: Part four of my extra special sales comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. CYPRAEA CAMELOPARDALIS: A superb specimen from the 'old days' of Red Sea availability. Prior to my acquisition of the specimen, it was in the renowned Ostini collection of Red Sea seashells, and the magnificent 1970s original Ostini label accompanies the specimen, (see above right image). The label quaintly states that the specimen was collected 'by Ali's people' in 1972. Extremely difficult to obtain now, especially at this quality, coming only from choice old collections. A camelopardalis for the connoisseur and appreciator of important provenance and history. Size: 51.1 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: A.C. near Pesei(?) Island, Ethiopia; upon reef substrate, amongst coral, (Madrepora sp.); 2 m; dived; 1972. Provenance: 1. M. Ostini, Ethiopia; 2. JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
