Whaleboat Helmsman

“Whaleboat Helmsman” black and white scrimshaw on sperm whale’s tooth by Ray Peters. Intrepid helmsman steers straight and true, keeping the prey insight. Early work by renowned scrimshander, Peters, done in 1974. It is from the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Slight check on the bottom right side of the tooth. Fine opportunity to obtain a vintage Peters at 1974 prices.
