Believed to be manufactured by Baekgaard in Great Britian, this round, faux ivory paperweight is made to look like scrimshaw and has the saying "BORN TO SAIL" and "FORCED TO WORK." An image of a sailboat on the ocean is etched into the domed surface, and the sides are embellished with images of ropes and knots. The bottom is covered with black felt and a gold sticker "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN." Decorative yet utilitarian piece of decor for a desk, shelf, or on top of a stack of books. Note: One small area of discoloration in the "water" to the left of the sailboat and a few very small marks on side (see last 2 photos). Otherwise in great pre-owned condition.
Approx. dimensions: 2.75" diameter, 1 1/8" high
