Tilly1 11 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Has anybody ever heard of this old taxidermy? Is his work worth anything? Used to work along side Murray & sons from carnforth, same era as SPICER. Any info would be much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Atkinson 1 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 As kids from Carnforth we used to wander the Over Kellet area and often called in to see Tommy who let us stay and watch him at work. I remember he had a stuffed proboscis shark on the wall. Happy days indeed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
