SCRIMSHAW - SILVER MOUNTED CARVED TUSK
probably a Walrus tusk, carved on one side with a Sailing Ship, the reverse carved with a small boat with fisherman. With a silver mount (London 1879), possibly made originally as a dagger handle. 17cms long
*The carving, mount and age fits the current antiques derogation on 'worked' items, so no licence is required to sell this in auction.
