| Now there are Hutchings collectors and there are Hutchings collectors. This chap is perhaps the largest. These images are just a sample of what is in the collection. Most people do not have 40 cases by Hutchings let alone 40 foxes. That said we are always interested in buying more of the same. Just click on the Dragon below to see more images. |

Male Polecat with Mistle Thrush prey by Peter Spicer. The polecat used to be called a 'foul mart' because of its strong smell. The name polecat is said to be from the French poule chat,'the chicken cat' and it will kill chickens given the chance! The polecat was also trapped for its fur, known as 'fitch', which was widely used in the early nineteenth century. Records show that a total of 400 polecat pelts was sold at the old Fur Fair in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1829, and 600 in 1831. In 1866, however, the number of furs for sale there was only six, after which they were not included in the records. Soon after 1907 the Scotish polecats seem to have become extinct. Shakespeare’s time ‘polecat’ was used to indicate vagabonds and prostitutes. As a consequence the polecat has been persecuted since medieval times, often with a bounty on its head. Yet it survived until the late 1800’s, which saw the rise of the great sporting estates and the associated game keepers. By 1915 they only survived in any number in a small mountainous area of central Wales. The polecat was saved by the First World War: many game-keepers left to join the forces, and estate management was never again as extensive. Through the second half of the 20th century the polecat gradually re-colonised the rest of Wales, then began to move into the English border counties. There have been re-introductions into Cumbria and parts of Scotland, but we can be reasonable certain that the polecats in Cheshire are natural colonists from the west.
Otter Pup by Peter Spicer & Co.
Commonly known as "The Conniston Fox", this is perhaps the finest fox produced by Peter Spicer & Co. Currently not for sale.

This "website" has consulted with and has been
critically reviewed by European Regulatory Authorities / Defra, monitoring
the sale of taxidermy and representatives of the UK Guild Of Taxidermists
to ensure that it complies with Current Guidance / Licencing on the
ownership and display of Taxidermy Specimens here in the UK. You are more
than welcome to check, the link(s) to Defra and The Guild's legal expert
are located half way up this page and within the site in general. In so far as is both reasonable and practical, we understand that all the modern items of taxidermy shown on this site were are informed by their owners to have the appropriate licences and documentation. Sooooooo no need to go running as we are regular contact. Perhaps it is you that should be worried?.
With reference to "Modern" examples, those produced after 1947,
we are interested in purchasing these also, but must have relevant and
appropriate Defra and CITES licences, when appropriate.
Cases without such information shall be declined. We suggest you make your
own investigations in this area to avoid confusion. Further information can be obtained at www.ukcites.gov.uk, www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/index.htm and www.eu-wildlifetrade.org
