Talk:Sturgeon
|
|
In 1960, in the USA, I purchased a most beautiful man's jewelry case of Sturgeon leather. I read in the sturgeon page that the caviar, bladder, and flesh are used. I read nothing about the tanning of the leather. Someone in the Lake Baikal area is missing out on a resource already available. Sturgeon leather products are no longer on any market that I can find. They should command an excellent price if well tanned and made into useful cases. Please someone think about this resource being discarded.
There is a new untouched business here - but it was being done 44 years ago and the pieces then were considered very rare and very expensive. They are unlike any other leather, remarkably stalwart, find grained, interesting and unique in appearance and cherishable if finely made.
Please someone near Lake Baikal - rejuvenate this older product and sell it world wide.
