SOLD SORRY SOLD 100 year old preserved Puffer Fish skin - remarkable piece of Natural History £0.00
P&P free

Here's Paddy, our lovely old strange looking Puffer Fish. He's a good size - about the size of a small football, but a fair bit more delicate and spiky. We reckon he's knocking on a bit - and may well have been caught about 100 years ago, so we can forgive him for a few bent spines. He seems to have had glass eyes glued on at one stage, but they're long gone and just the glue residue remains.

Condition: Fair
Fabric: Puffer Fish Skin
SIZE: 35cm long

OUR TIPS
We're told these kind of fellas have been converted to light shades, but I like Paddy just as he is. Perched on top of a shelf he can keep a spooky eye on you. Don't go near these boys when they're alive as they're the 2nd most poisonous vertebrate on the planet....

 

Additional Information
His fins and tail are a bit tatty, and he has a few bent spines, but who could resist that face?
