Squirrel-Skin Bill Fold

As a souvenir of the “days afield” my brother fashioned a quaint bill fold out of a squirrel skin, which, by the way, is a skin of remarkable toughness, After tanning the skin and removing the hair, it was cut as shown, the skin of the forelegs being used as fold-overs. The piece of tape took the place of the tail. The shot holes through the skin added the requisite touch of realism, recalling a day with the gun.—James M. Kane, Doylestown, Pa.
