[lotsamagsnbags]

looking at purchasing an original  lot of machline ware - mostly for resale on ebay. likely keep one or two sewing collectables for my own collection.  am I assuming correct I can sell it overseas?  Its like sycamore wood vanished so should be ok?

what about a cows hoof pincushion?  a bone tattling shuttle?

Hi.

Bone is not prohibited as long as the origin is mentioned.

IE. Bovine etc - otherwise it is off.

Take a look under 'Prohibited Items'.

 Check out A - Z help on the site map

from there -

Ivory or bone

Due to many complex laws and regulations both Australia and internationally, the sale of any form of ivory is strictly prohibited on eBay.

Restricted	Bone from non-ivory producing, non-endangered animals as long as the species is clearly stated in the listing description and not in violation of the seller's specific state laws Man-made resin, or vegetable ivory as long as the listing description specifies what the item is made of
Not allowed	Bone from animals that produce ivory, including elephants, mammoths, walruses and whales Carved and uncarved ivory Fossilised ivory Raw ivory

Hey, padi.

Sometimes the bones are hard to find

One of mine looks like that at the moment. Hard to find anything, let alone find bones!!! Bring on the warmer weather so I can get the wool and and spend the Summer eyeing off their back legs 😄

                           Can't you have 3 - legged sheep?

[i-love-my-sheep]

I did actually wonder a few years ago whether I could chop the back legs off and get one of those little wheel about things like people get for their dogs who can no longer use their back legs. Sheep gets to live, I get 2 nice roasts, win-win!! The sheep didn't like that idea. I mentioned it to the younger of the 2 (a meat breed) and promptly copped a horn in the leg.
