RESCUED

“RESCUED” black and white scrimshaw on pre-ban African Ivory by David Adams. Fortunate mariner rescued from a certain death by comely mermaid. Lucky guy, indeed. Touching scene by Adams, one of the best working today. Amazing amount of detail with unbelievable amount of stipple work, which takes forever. Study this one closely and one will find new details every time. Mounted on a custom cocobolo stand, this one stands out.

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 to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions, email
