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.

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.
