This is a must-have for any taxidermy or hunting enthusiast, and is perfect for display in any taxidermy collection.

This is two (2) nicely framed "floating" Raccoon Baculum Penis bone, one apparently had been damaged and has healed-These are less than perfect specimens-please see pics. They are showcased in a black plastic elasticity shadowbox frame and would be a great addition to any collection.
Framed Display Approx. Dimensions: See last picture with ruler
This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed and also gives the specimen the illusion of "floating"! This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens or the elasticity strip usually are damaged when you open the display. If the film in your display starts to stick together or gets some bubbles in it you can open the case very slowly so the film releases from both side and close again very slowly and the problem should be resolved. If the film gets touched are is in a hot area this can happen but it is a very easy fix. Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted.
HANGING DISPLAYS: The floating displays all have removable bases so if you would like, just a piece or two of Velcro or command strip will mount these right to your wall without a problem. The case will keep him clean and safe for years to come!
Species: P. lotor
The raccoon, sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, or northern raccoon is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg.
Raccoon penis bones are considered by some in the South to be lucky charms. The little bones are also known as coon dogs, Texas toothpicks, and Abrahams. Southerners wear them on necklaces, keep them in their pockets, and even include them in bridal bouquets. The trend went Hollywood in 2004, when Sarah Jessica Parker and Vanessa Williams were both seen wearing raccoon baculum earrings.
