I had quite a collection of old time price lists at one time that I threw away because I didn’t see any point in hanging on to them. I could kick myself now when I am reminded by posts like Tom’s. There were places that sold everything you would see in a Tarzan movie (Including those classic “African” jaguars, macaws and tapirs) in some of those old things! Classic stuff I wish I could look at again. In my old age I can’t even remember the names of them or I’d be looking to collect them again. I’m 46 years old, not THAT old, but I can remember armadillos for five bucks, indigos were 25.00, I think? And that was considered mighty expensive. Heck, I sold diamondbacks for $3.00 per foot to the Miami Serpentarium back when I was a teenager. Hey, the great Bill Haast was ripping me off!
