These are some of Bob's specimen shells from his inventory.  The marginella collection is his specialized life's work and special inventory.  Marginellas were Bob's passion. He wrote several books on them.

I am selling these for Bob's son and will be listing them in the Marginella store section as well as auction. Bob and Betty were family friends. I remember my dad taking me into The Shell Store when I was six years old to start my collection.  From that point I started collecting shells in Florida by walking beaches and flats and snorkeling and then started selling specimens in the late 1990's.  These Marginella and other shell listings from this collection as well as general specimens from our friends at the Shell Store will begin with "SS RFM"

Our other shells from Bob Lipe Collection are as follows:

We just acquired a collection of shells and books and will be presenting these items for sale. This was the collection and remaining store inventory from Bob and Betty Lipe. Bob and Betty were the key shell people in the Tampabay area and Worldwide for specimen shells and commercial crafts. Bob was famous for his work with Marginella and wrote a book on this family of shells. They were both key figures in the St. Petersburg Shell Club. All listings from this collection will begin with "BL RFM"

 Auction and Store purchases can be combined.
