Robert Ruark - Auction of elephant tusks and bronze bust of Ruark

I have been contacted by Doyle of New York and they are auctioning a pair of Bob Ruark's elephant tusks (the first elephant he ever shot with my father) and a bronze bust of himself. The auction will take place on November 3rd.

Some pretty historic stuff! If anyone is interested contact Gillian Ryan of Doyle, New York email address: gillian.ryan@doylenewyork.com

She will email you all the information and pics.

Cheers
Gail

WOW-what kind of $$ can those be worth? I know I would love to own those pieces of African hunting history-I just finished reading Horn of the Hunter for the thousandth time last week-still a masterpiece of hunting literature.

I used the email address to go to the auction house website.

Found the pics there.

Opened the pics in a separate browser window. Not sure how to do that on a PC, on a Mac it is [control] click.

copy that address to clipboard

click on little picture icon at the top of the reply box.

paste url there.

A lot easier to do than describe!!!

Gail,

If you go to www.photobucket.com you can down load your pictures there then post them anywhere you like.

To copy a picture from a another web site simply right click on the picture then click "save as", then give it a name. Then the next time you go to Photobucket you can simple hit the upload pictures icon find the picture you want in your files and the rest is history.

I hope that helps.
Oh and by the way the basic photobucket sign up is free.
