JAMES JULIA AUCTION OCTOBER 7-9, 2014

[Dean Romig]

Jim Julia, being a deeply committed auctioneer of thousands and thousands of antiques and collectible items that have ivory embellishments of one form or another, is extremely concerned with what appears very likely to become enacted into law.

Jim sent a 'Letter to the Editor' to be published in Parker Pages, explaining all of this and how it would negatively affect our beloved firearms and other collectibles, in order to educate folks so they might be inspired to write or call their senators and representative so this 'soon to be' law can be crushed. I apologized that I couldn't publish it because it would put Parker Pages in the position of becoming a political platform and that is something we can not and will not do. Parker Pages has always been and always will be politically neutral.

Outlawing antique ivory on antique collectibles will not have any effect on stopping the nefarious poachers of elephants today.
