Notes from the seller
Here is a very nice work of scrimshaw, from a local estate, signed by Peter Kinney. A local appraiser believes this to be mammoth tooth, or tusk. I offer 8 photos for your inspection. The piece is just 7″ tall(without mounting peg), measures 2 & 1/ 2″ wide at the bottom, tapering to 2 & 1/ 4″ at top. It weighs 15. 8 oz. A nice depiction of sailing ship-detail is noted in pics. Please check my recent feedback for a similar piece from the same estate, to compare! Shipping in the lower 48 will be $8. 25 priority mail, actual USPS cost to other locations. Accepting paypal only.
