Clipper Two Views

“Clipper Two Views” black and white scrimshaw on pre-ban ivory carved into the shapes of a whale’s teeth by Steve Willeford. Decades ago we sent a section of pre-ban African Ivory to the late Ken Fredericks. He shaped these two “Whales Teeth” out of the pre-ban ivory and mounted them on a striking ebony stand, first rate all the way around. We had Steve Williams do the scrimshaw because he always did first rate work. Fredericks passed away and it has been a couple of decades since we last heard from Williams. Never to be repeated, one of a kind. Notice:
This scrimshaw is done on pre-ban African ivory. Since the passage of the CITIES Treaty in 1973, there has been no African ivory brought into the U.S. However, ivory that was in the U.S. prior to 1973 can be legally sold and shipped within the U.S. However, new legislation taking effect in 2016 restricts pre-ban African Ivory from being shipped interstate. It can only legally be shipped intrastate, (within the state). All of our pre-ban ivory is located with our associate in the state of Florida. It can be purchased directly from our website and shipped only to an address within the state of Florida. If one has a relative, trusted friend or business associate within the state of Florida, we can ship to that specified address in order to comply with the new Federal legislation. The scrimshaw can then be forwarded it to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions email or call us.
