"And, here's another example, right here, in a wood base, feather tree, this has the red berries in a little better condition. What you can see here, sometimes what happens is it starts to unwind when you lose the berries so, sometimes you'll see these in varying conditions where they'll be where part of the whole branch is missing or you'll find that they're lose like this. It's good to try to fix this because otherwise it'll unwind and then you'll have a bare branch on your tree which is not really desirable, but I can tell you in the range this feather tree, this feather tree will range about, I've got this at $115.00, this one here is priced out at $165.00, the condition is really good on this one. This tree is priced out at $285.00. Just a little range, and also you can see here, which is interesting, is a good feather fencing, which they used around their trees. You'll find that fencing comes in a wide variety, you can find it in metal, in wood, in plaster, with different shapes to it, so this feather tree fence can cost you anywhere from 2 to 3 to $400.00 depending on the condition and amount of individual sections there are and the condition that the fence is in, so that' another way to collect feather tree, different forms of goose feathers. So, this gives you a little sampling, there a lot more varieties of these out there and the age varies, too, between 30 and 40 and 50 years so things to consider when you're looking for feather trees."
