Butterfly Specimens | Vintage Riker’s CaseVintage butterfly & moth specimens in a traditional glass and cardboard Rikers case. Refer to photos for size and condition: Very good. The case contains 8 real specimens, some of which have paper bodies.

Condition is good with what looks like wax residue on one side of the glass and a miniscule hairline crack (like the size of an eyelash) inside the globe

These tiny Victorian photographs are only about the size of a postage stamp
