Marbles Jumbo Trapper. Scrimshaw Series. In the early
19th century, whalers could find themselves at sea for up to two years
at a time. With very little to do, some whalers would spend hours and
hours etching intricate scenes into whale teeth and bones. This
incredible art became known as scrimshaw. The Marble's Wildlife
Scrimshaw Series celebrates that art with intricate etchings of the
animals of the wild. 4 3/8" closed. Stainless clip and spey blades.
White smooth bone and stag handles with nickel silver bolster. Front
handle features wildlife scrimshaw style artwork. Packaged in
commemorative cardboard gift box with vacuum formed insert. |
