Goshawk and chicks by Mike Gadd.
Modern European Shag by unknown but competent taxidermist.
North Atlantic Eiders by William Hope of Edinburgh, this is a Victorian case.
Interestingly this figure includes the current dispersal of the Andy Henry Collection on Ebay (The first collection in it's entirety to be disposed of by someone we all know). Clearly this data is now out of date and it does include include the partial sale of The Victorian Taxidermy Company's stock and the most recent large sales also. It does however make interesting reading and perhaps a guide to future prices. This is only a guide and does not represent the entire UK taxidermy market place, just a small personal view. The figures are accurate and it is our view that we shall see a steady decline in cost / value?, of cases in the future. Let's hope you did not buy at the top of the market so to speak. Not a good retirement fund. Also it is interesting to note that prices fluctuate between auction houses, Ebay and direct enquiries. That said we tend to buy direct these days and at auctions.

Another recent development on Ebay allows for the seller to omit the bidders identities. Just a word of caution this allows the potential for the seller to ask others or themselves to bid the item UP to perhaps inflate a price. We are confident that this is not going on given the integrity of the sellers, just that it might. The general trend however of prices for both modern and Victorian taxidermy cases is downwards. However there is one concillation of this statement. Most of the items offered are total "shite" and not worth bothering with anyhow, no matter who bids it up so to speak.

An interesting development on prices that we would like to share. We recently offered to purchase two Hutchings cases, namely a Heron, Water Rail and & Kingfisher in one case and a Fox with English Partridge in the other. Not exactly rare but nice items all the same. We offered £600 for both cases. Yup that's £300 each for the hard of thinking. The seller, after accepting the initial offer, then elected to offer them at auction, presumably under the impression that they would make more. Indeed they sold recently for a combined total of £440. Take away the sellers commission at 15% and you are left with £377. Minus the effort to get them to the auction house (petrol) £20 and you are left with £357. We declined to bid at auction but were very interested in the sale results. Perhaps we are offering too much these days?. The seller would have needed to acheive £700 at auction to beat out offered price and frankly that we never going to happen, not these days.

Also the cheapest James Hutchings Fox with Partridge prey sold at auction recently fetched 90.00 (April 2009). We wonder if this price will be "improved upon". In 2003-2005, these pieces routinely made 500-700 and in a few cases these made in excess of £1200. As a crumb of comfort for those who feel that this is a sound investment, the rest of the economy is doing even worse, but given that this is discretionary purchase (mortgages and bills / loans etc taking precedent for most) this it should not be a surprise to see this unfold. We have certainly encountered a massive hike in the number of cases being offered privately.
Also the cheapest James Hutchings case offered in open auction has to be the Abberation Woodpigeon, conventional Woodpigeon and Pheasant. We are assuming that most of you would have seen it, if not tough. Anyway it made (drummmmm rollllllllllll) 72.00. Very little to add to that. Since 2003 prices for victorian taxidermy have gone from an average of £860 per case to £450 per case as we see today. Now not wishing to dispel the hopefulls who feel that taxidermy is a sound investment, we would recommend to perhaps think again. Our advice is collect it because you like it, if it makes money over time then clearly you will be "up". However certain peoples mindset is stuck in 2003 and likewise their expectation as to "value". Deluded is a term that springs to mind. When certain people describe "value" what they are in fact is referring to cost. As one prominent person once said "people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing"
Here is a good example of value verses cost or cost verses value. Immaculate Rowland Ward Barnacle Goose (see Rowland Ward page for image was £85.00 from Andy Henry in 2003 (long story and yes he was alive, so no bottom feeding at his auction). Now is that it's value or cost.?

Rumours have it that the Farm house in Wales, the origin of sooo many cases by James Hutchings has burnt down. It appears that no more cases will eminate from that source in the future.

Pheasants by Leadbetter of London, this is a Victorian case.
Ptarmigan by Lewis Hutton of Bristol. This is a Victorian case.
Great Crested Grebe by Peter Spicer. Another cased gem, that is both fresh to the market and not for sale. Restoration required and it will look fantastic again.
