7 assorted size fresh fallen knob cone knobcone pine cones grey or gold color

Description

Direct from the "manufacturer".  From a PINE tree that is!  The Central Coast of California just had ANOTHER intense wind storm a few weeks ago, and this is part of the "windfall"  from it, so to speak. Just about as fresh from the tree as it is possible to get. 7 VERY fresh,  inspected, assorted size knob cone (knobcone) pine cones.  These were specially chosen as an assortment of size and color, for the widest range of applications. The smallest one is 4" long,  the longest is 6"  and the rest fall between those two sizes.  The smallest is 1-1/4" in diameter, the largest about 2".  All are tightly closed,  and all are checked to ensure they don't have insect damage or have started to open.  The other reason these are lotted together is they have lost all or most of their golden brown color; either from sun exposure on the tree, or sitting on the ground in wet pine needles and turning black. These are drier and lighter than the gold cones in my other lots.  Most are nearly free of pitch (the white coloring).  The cones shown are the ones that will ship in this lot.  I have other cones listed, larger and smaller in size, and in various quantities.  These cones are from the central California coast mountains and are nowhere near any sort of toxic pesticide spray and have only been handled to collect them.  I guarantee the cones to be the ones shown and described, but nothing beyond that. They ship "as-is",  to any U.S. zip code, in a box, each cone separated by paper from other cones to prevent contact damage,  priority and insured, for .00  (Local pickup always allowed) U.S. shipments only due to the complications of shipping wood products to other countries. No returns since pine cones don't exactly have serial numbers!   Feel free to ask questions or for other photo views.  No reserve.
