Mounts from that era are not worth much. The taxidermy procedures back in 1936 do not hold a candle to those of today. In addition, it was common practice to use poisons like arsenic on specimens back then to kill insects that would attack the specimen. That poison can be transferred to people who handle the specimen. Honestly, I would not have a mount from the 30s in my home.
