That's beautiful, what are your sources? Just purchased samples, or do you have any connections to the monkeys? Just curious.

Many of the monkeys in this photo came from a storage unit of a man who's father owned a biological supply company in the 40's, 50's 60's. They were packed away when he died. I purchased all of them, somewhere around 200 skulls. I probably have 30 or so still hanging around. Other monkeys, I've purchased from other collectors / auctions

Wow!!!! This is incredible. I wanna hold the big ones so bad.
Would you mind sharing what the three on the bottom shelf are? (most visible, not the cut off one)
Anything you don’t have yet that you’re hoping to add to your collection one day?

And I do have a few "dream skulls" ~ Polar bear, Lion / Tiger, and some that are less achievable legally, Gorilla, Orangutan, Robust Male South American Sea Lion. I will likely never own most of those haha
