Why replica??

I know. I'm the guy that has sold, does sell and understands the genuine animal items

It's not fun entering the plastic world. I'm not happy about it. Several things are going on now that have not been true in the past. #1. Replica and copies have got much better in quality and lower in price.  #2 More of the real item's are becoming illegal to sell. Those not illegal require permits, fees, and a lawyer to understand the laws. This is not part of the subsistence lifestyle I chose and wish to support. #3 Most of the real items are too hard to get, and too spendy. #4 Too many people do not understand or appreciate the real thing and/or cannot afford it. We have lost touch with the land and its connection, long for it but have lost it.  To be honest, most of us do not deserve the real thing. It dishonors the animal. #5 Environmentally the earth is getting smaller and the animals are endangered (in many cases but not all). #6 The trend is in the direction of plastic. I personally think this is one of the most polluting industries in the country but I must be alone in my thoughts. #7. People pay me with plastic, I give plastic in return. Offer me real gold maybe I offer real items. #8. In most cases 'replica' will work. it looks good it is not costly does not need care is plentiful  and in many cases you get the plastic or you  get nothing, as the real thing cost 20 years in prison. (Like a real eagle claw)

Above are 'cat claws' some are 'real' some are 'copies' can you tell one from the other?
Below are some choices for 'bear' items. I have a couple  of other choices as well, but  not photgraphed yet.
I try to carry replicas items that are of good quality and I hand cast or select when I buy them. I know what the real item looks like and the replica must be able to pass my inspection.
Email and inquire on prices. They vary by the claw type quality and volume you want to buy and prices can change in 6 months and I can't keep up with my web site to adjust. but between $5 and $15 can be expected (real add another decimal point)

Fossil replica's below

T rex dinosaur tooth
Caps
I offer caps for all teeth so they can be turned into necklaces. I also do the capping and offer the above items as a 'finished product'. Yet this pendant can be incorporated in others work as a centerpiece for those customers who bead - make necklace or earrings or other art objects
I have a few other teeth and claws to sell 'as is' but do not have the pictures as I sell more of the capped and finished so look below at the finished as ask about just the claw -or tooth if interested
Above are some capped replica bear claws.. I sell them 'finished' as art for $35 or so. Caps alone can be requested for about $10 each
