Vintage 1993 Scrimshaw Replica trinket box artist signed and dated 1993 PEM. PEM is the Peabody Essex Museum located in Salem Massachusetts. They would have commissioned the artist who signed this to do this limited trinket box to sell in the museum gift shop based on an exhibit of the famous Flying Cloud Clipper Ship. It’s in great condition and really nicely done- see pics. Measures 3 1/2x3 1/2 “ inches. Stands 2 7/16” inches high. This is a very rare item and collectible.

Would make a great gift or addition to any collection.

Quick gentle shipping from a loving smoke free home.
