Compass Rose Letter Opener

“Compass Rose Letter Opener” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory by the late David Smith. Top end inlay work on this one of a kind letter opener. Frame is ebony with inlay pieces of mammoth bark and mammoth ivory. Smith’s stipple work is outstanding, as usual. This is one of the last pieces we received from David. He was a fine person and outstanding scrimshander. He will be missed.
