Scrimshaw Snuff Box scrimshaw whaling %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is probably the finest piece of carved scrimshaw I have owned. A finely carved piece of horn with chip carved lid, whale bone handle and original cork bung. The main body has chip carved and scratch decoration, featuring a range of floral designs, a whaling ship and men harpooning a whale. Above is a motto 'Never give up' and the reverse shows a range of Union flags, a Royal crest and an All Seeing Eye. Some details are picked out in red and blue, the bottom appears to be a dark piece of ebony rather than baleen. English, early to mid 19th century. 11 cm high to top of handle.
 Please contact me for postage information. Postage to mainland UK is often free. Mark
