Need Help With Old Shell Collection.

[okieracing]

Hi
My Grandmother just recently passed away and I inherited here seashell collection. She would buy, sell, collect and make crafts out of them. I use to know some about them when I was a kid during the sixties but I have forgotten most of what I had learned.  I have a few questions to ask if you wouldn’t mind answering. Do you know of a good price guide that would show me what some of these shells would go for? Would the price of a shell change do to when it was collected? Example: A shell taken out of the ocean in the fifties or sixties compared to the same shell taken out today. I have all kinds of coral, seaweed and some sea creatures and I was wondering if I am still allowed to sell them? Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Howard
