$600 Crab Mount
«

I was at a Ducks Unlimited Banquet and one of the vendors who had lots of waterfowl taxidermy also had this crab on display. He said it was a live auction item. Pretty nice mount, the colors are a little drab. I'm not sure I've ever had occasion to tie a leather strap to a crab before to hang it up, looks cool for ducks and game birds, a bit strange on crabs. I didn't have a tape measure with me, but it was a big crab so I found a piece of string and marked the length; at home it came out to be 8 3/8". The claws were huge and had a lot of knots, bumps, and barnacles on them which was cool. Now for the capper; it went for $600 at the auction! I like Tatoo's work better, now I really appreaciate it.

For $600, I'd just take a picture of the crab and "mount" it in my stomach...

it was a "charity" auction for ducks unlimited
the winner probably a doctor or lawyer, most likely gave the mount away to a friend or hung it at the beach house in the hamptons
I would value that at auction at $25
I knew guys that belonged to ducks unlimited and they drove BMW 7 series and used $6,000 krieghoff shotguns

Things go very high at Charity auctions, hence, charity. However, that piece of wood/piling its on is awesome.

Tattoo has forgotten more about mounting crabs than I'll ever know but to me, from the picture, the color looks about right
