He bought it in India while filming "Monsoon" co-starring Ursula Theis aka Mrs. Robert Taylor in 1952. Mrs. Theis is the one that gave George the shell inside and told George that "with the spiral of the shell going backwards, it is good luck". There is a little note inside under the shell's cushion that says all of this. As far as where exactly he got it, I can only imagine at a Bizarre or some other sort of pedlar or shop. Thank you for your business and enjoy it in good health.

Hi Marty,

The turtle and shell arrived today in perfect condition.

I wanted to ask you if you know where George got the turtle itself.

Thanks for taking such care in packing and mailing.

Thank you very much indeed! I is always a pleasure.

Take care!

Doug
