<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daniel G, post: 1505168, member: 13411&quot;]Came across this double elephant folio size Brown Pelican at a small local auction house.&nbsp; I paid $180 inclusive of buyers premium.&nbsp; As soon as I got home, I removed the frame and examined it closely to conclude it was an original 1860 Joseph Bien Audubon print.&nbsp; While not as valuable as the original Havell edition prints, prints from this edition are rarer and still carry a significant price tag.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Next I reached out to the industry experts (Princeton Audubon Society and Joel Oppenheimer), as well as my contact at Skinner auctions to get their thoughts.&nbsp; All confirmed my suspicions but came back with a wide range of values, ranging from $5,000-$7,000 (skinner) to $15,000-$18,000 (princeton). Being conservative, I will lean toward the low end but decided to keep it.&nbsp; After all, I am collector, not a reseller and these experiences always make collecting fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]226453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226455[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]226458[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
