They come from a Kiwi's lifelong collection. The history of gum hunting in New Zealand is steeped in fascinating stories of immigrants coming to New Zealand with little or no skills. They headed to the gum fields to eke a meger living collecting the resin. Whole families would be involved in the collection. They would be grubstaked by exporters and business owners. The procedure of the hunt was to force a very long slender metal rod into the ground, and with experience, the hunters could identify what was struck. Once the gum was located, men would hand dig very deep trenches to recover the specimens. The whole family worked in the business. Mothers would raise the children and run the household. The older sons and fathers would do the hunting, and the entire family would get involved in the cleaning. The cleaned gum was taken to Auckland and sold to brokers who shipped it to Europe. It was used in the manufacturing of varnish, insence, candles, and jewelry. This set sells for $15.10 which includes shipping in the United States. #106
