Lot containing two antique specimen sperm whale teeth and one Inuit carved stone walrus with walrus ivory tusks. The larger of the antique whale teeth measures nearly 6” long with a very small hollow base cavity. It has never been sanded or polished and now displays a lovely cream and tan patina. The smaller antique tooth measures nearly 3 ½” long and like the larger tooth has never been polished or sanded. It has a solid base and also has mellowed to a fine creamy-yellow aged patina. Antique whale teeth are now difficult to find especially in their “specimen” state without sanding, polishing or scrimshaw. The Inuit carved walrus appears to be made from a beautifully green and deep tan colored soap stone. It is artistically and expertly carved with twin walrus ivory tusks. Overall height is a chunky 4” and has artist initials on the base. Taken together, an outstanding nautical and Inuit display! The collection weighs 1lbs 6oz overall.
