Aha! Just had a call from the dealer in Austin who handles bear rugs. I could put it in his auction in October, or I can ship it to him and he'll make a bid. I need to send a notarized document that says where I got the rug, so if he sold it, that would accompany it. I told him about the letter that places my great uncle in Alaska, and I think that's where this came from. I'll send copies of those things. This would be a bulky thing out of here, and while I don't expect to make much on it, this thing has reached the point where there is too much fuss and bother to try selling it myself. Better off sending it to a dealer. That'll clear up a chair in my sun room!
