THIS IS A RESIN REPRODUCTION PIECE AND DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY U.S.LAWS OR EBAY RULES CONCERNING ENDANGERED SPECIES.
I
personally hand make all my reproductions. Each one is carefully crafted from
the finest materials. The Scrimshaw teeth and tusks will "age" over
time when exposed to any light. So, after time, they look more and more
"old".
They all
have the nicks and scratches associated with the original teeth, some more than
others. All have a money back guarantee.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A SCRIMSHAW SPERM WHALE TOOTH DEPICTING THE WHALER
"ESSEX" WHICH WAS ATTACKED AND SUNK ON NOVEMBER 20TH, 1820 BY A HUGH SPERM WHALE.
IT IS THE SHIP THAT THE STORY OF "MOBY DICK" WAS BASED UPON. IT IS ALSO THE STORY THAT THE MOVIE
"IN THE HEART OF THE SEA"
IS BASED.
TRULY A GREAT TOOTH OF MY OWN DESIGN.
IT IS 7- 8 INCHES LONG MEASURED AROUND THE CURVE.
