An exceptional scrimshaw cane with a wonderfully carved medium-sized Sperm Whale tooth mounted as a handle.This tooth is nicely curved, 6" long and 1.5" wide at its widest point. The top has a wonderful full length carving ofa sperm whale in relief. This is mounted on fine, tapered 6 piece whale bone and baleen shaft. Total length 33.5",appears to have never had a ferrule. Nice patina overall, and one of the Cowan's staff's favorites!Very Slight chips to root of tooth, none of which are larger than 1/16", insignificant tight & short hairlines in whalebone, else excellent.(EST 1500-2000)
