I have two pairs of glass fish eyes that taxidermists use when they mount fish in simulated action for display, like the fish is doing something besides being dead and covered in shellac. You have seen fish like this at Cabela's or over my mantle. They are only sold in pairs and they come connected, two to a wire, like testicles.

I know why I have them but I have no use for them at the moment. Does anybody want them?

I will trade these fish eyes for anything of consummate value. It needn't be tobacciana. I have my share of that. Just pick something that you think I would be interested in that is worth maybe $10-15 plus shipping. Don't tell me what it is. I like surprises, except when I don't.

These really are nice glass fish eyes. I got them from a reputable dealer. I prefer the aesthetics of the yellow pair over the brown but you can be your own judge.

I am taking these off the PSF barter market and I am going to make some money on Ebay like an honest man does.
