“Fossil Walrus Fish Hook” hand carved by famed scrimshander, Ray Peters. These stunning pendants vary in size, each a one of a kind treasure. These are designed to be worn by both men and women. The color in the ivory is the result of minerals that have been absorbed into the walrus tusk over hundreds and hundreds of years while it was buried in the Northern Bering Sea area. The mottled part of the ivory is the center of the tusk, similar to the marrow in a bone. Each has an adjustable ivory ring for different lengths. The cord is 16″ long. No one uses this quality for fishhooks. These are outstanding.

“Humpback Family and Dolphins” black white scrimshaw on pre ban African Ivory by Ray Peters. This was created in 1994 and is from the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us.

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.
