Is this worth anything? - kpolo23 - 08-07-2010 I am working with a group organizing a rummage sale as a fundraiser and someone donated a collection of shells.  On the front of the box it says "Shell Collection" and "30 Kinds" on the side.  Inside the box there are 30 shells glued to a piece of cardboard.  All the sehlls are labled and appear to be whole except for one with a corner missing.  There is also a flyer inside with pictures of many types of shells and their names from the Jolly Roger Resort Motel and The Letizias Continental Cuisine in Sanibel, FL.  I see no dates anywhere.  Any ideas? I have a picture of the entire collection (the shells are very small in the image) but I don't know how to post it to the forum.  Thanks so much for your help!!

They inevitably use extremely common shells and are, I am sorry to say, worth very little. Dave
