Scrimshaw Globe on Ivory Cue Ball

“Scrimshaw Globe on Ivory Cue Ball” black and white scrimshaw on rare ivory cue ball by David Adams. Cue ball in excellent condition, no checks or damage. Appears to have never actually been used. Quite rare. Adams rarely does globes these days, but upon seeing this one, he jumped at the project. It is extremely difficult to work on such a curved surface, by the way. The stand itself. is another work of art with the turned ivory feet and supports. Designed so the owner can pick up the globe and study it more closely.

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 or call us.
