France Casting is now offering original casts from the National Museums of Kenya Casting Program!

These are materials made by the Museum personnel, shipped to France Casting, and then to you. They are NOT duplicated from photographs, measurements, or examination of casts - they ARE made directly from the original specimens!

Why are we doing this?

Every cast you buy directly from the web site of the National Museums of Kenya at The National Museums of Kenya or through France Casting gives some assurance that the incredible research programs engaged in locating, excavating, studying, and casting the original fossils will continue. The National Museums of Kenya have requested both respect for their products and that other possible sources not duplicate those products without permission. Buying from other suppliers provides no support for the National Museums of Kenya.

How are we doing this?
France Casting has an agreement with the National Museums of Kenya to be their distributors (although you still may order directly from them via their web-site, and we urge you to consider that alternative). We order from them and then we ship to you when the material arrives in the US.

Are we making money on the deal?
France Casting has put together this program in order to insure that high quality casts will be available to those who expect that quality. The availability of France Casting as an intermediary distributor was developed principally in order to facilitate purchases from Kenya in circumstances where there may be some hesitancy with ordering from a foreign source. The price of the cast is the same to you, whether offered by France Casting or from the National Museums of Kenya. They discount the price of the cast to us just enough to cover the cost of shipping to the United States.

France Casting believes that, when scientific enterprises in any country are able to offer a superior product at a competitive price, thereby supporting important scientific activities, we should consider lending our support to such efforts, in order that they, too, might survive and continue those activities. That is one of our ethical standards, and we hope that you share that with us.
