You can still find pre-ban seal skin. Cannot import into the country but if already here prior to the ban is ok.

PM me your address and I will send you a square.

Danny is the Man....
    I have had dealings with him and he is top notch....
    My Mother in law who was 78 at the time, Had one of those State Quarter collections....
    She was missing the Guam Quarter, Danny hooked me up with it and couple more of the obscure Island Quarters....
    She did appreciate it Danny....
Sadly they are gone now, Both Ma and Lefty died in an accident while riding their Harley Trike
    Married over 60 years and died within seconds of each other....
    Sorry if I got side tracked....

If you go to a fur coat manufacturing facility
you can usually get small pieces for a good price.Sometimes free---at least thats the way I have found it here in Canada.

Danny thanks for the information, I was not aware it was legal to use the old stuff.  I still have a very small pieces but have not used it because I thought it was not legal.  I love the stuff as it wears so well.
