Antique Ivory World Globe

” Antique Ivory World Globe” color scrimshaw on antique ivory billiard ball by Kurt Sperry. Excellent detail in this gem by Sperry. Ken Fredericks stand makes it even better. This is from the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Not many of this caliber around today as most collectors are loath to part with such a prize. This was done a couple of decades ago, by the way.

Notice:
This scrimshaw is done on pre-ban African ivory. Since the passage of the CITIES Treaty in 1973, there has been no African ivory brought into the U.S. However, ivory that was in the U.S. prior to 1973 can be legally sold and shipped within the U.S. However, new legislation taking effect in 2016 restricts pre-ban African Ivory from being shipped interstate. It can only legally be shipped intrastate, (within the state). All of our pre-ban ivory is located with our associate in the state of Florida. It can be purchased directly from our website and shipped only to an address within the state of Florida. If one has a relative, trusted friend or business associate within the state of Florida, we can ship to that specified address in order to comply with the new Federal legislation. The scrimshaw can then be forwarded it to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions email or call us.
