Add a touch of maritime history to your collection with this beautiful scrimshaw-style whale’s tooth replica. Expertly etched in the traditional nautical style, the piece depicts a tall sailing ship under full sail with a breaching whale in the foreground. The work is signed “Frank” and rests securely on a custom wooden display base.

Scrimshaw, the classic sailor’s art, was originally carved on whale teeth and bones by 19th-century whalers during long voyages. This 20th-century reproduction captures the same historic spirit while being a legal and accessible decorative art piece.

Features:

  • Material: Likely resin or bovine bone replica (not genuine whale ivory).

  • Artwork: Hand-etched sailing ship & whale scene, signed Frank.

  • Base: Solid wood display stand.

  • Dimensions: Approx. 7” tall including base.

  • Era: Circa 1970s–1990s vintage.

Condition:

Very good overall with light natural aging and small surface cracks typical for this type of material. The etching is crisp and detailed, with fine shading and maritime charm.
