Old Boat Antiques and Collectibles Special Items

Exceptional offers from the Maritime Antiques auction listings

Sale items in this section, which are taken from various listings we've discovered on eBay, have received a lot of bids, or at least one bid at a high amount. We take such interesting boating and nautical antiques and add a short article here, with information about the auction's bidding activity. When the auction is finished, we update the article to add what the outcome was — the final price, number of bids, and whether or not the reserve price was met (if not, the item may reappear in our listings).

You can use this section to research the final price of old boat collectibles or, if you sign up for the RSS feed, see the newest and most popular items while the auctions are still live on eBay.

(Remember that many, many more rare boating antiques and vintage collectibles are currently listed in the sections in the menu, so be sure to have a look at those too.)

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.

This auction began at 8:32 pm EST on September 7, 2008. It is going until 8:32 pm EST on September 14, 2008. The seller, slaytonshaker, will ship this item from Tacoma, Washington. It may be shipped to United States.
