ANTIQUE SCRIMSHAW TOOTH. Antique scrimshaw sperm whale tooth done on both sides. The front of this tooth depicts a US Naval ship flying an American flag at the stern, with gunports, some use of color. Another vessels off the bow with a lighthouse and land mass. Reverse side depicting Lady Columbia holding the American flag with cap at the end of the pole and a spread winged eagle above. She is wearing a star studded dress with red and white stripes. Tooth has acquired a very nice honey color patina. Circa, first quarter 19th century. A very good example of Americana, folk art as well as an example of early antique American scrimshaw.
