Scrimshaw on Faux‎ Whale Tooth

This museum reproduction of a scrimshaw tooth that beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century scrimshaw art. Measuring 6 inches long and 2 inches wide, this exquisite piece showcases the Whaling Ship STARBUCK on one side, sailing out of New Bedford. On the other side, you'll find a depiction of barrels filled with whale products and supplies lined up on a dock at NEW BEDFORD. This scrimshawed tooth is meticulously crafted to replicate the beauty, feel, and authenticity of 19th-century scrimshaw. Despite being a reproduction, it possesses the same weight and texture as genuine scrimshaw, making it a fantastic addition to any nautical collection. Not only does it capture the historical significance of New Bedford, known as "The Whaling City," but it also offers an excellent value compared to real scrimshaw.
