Update set 1 and #4 are the only two left not sold

These are 5 pieces of fossil walrus ivory shown from 4 views in the 4 pictures. #1 is a set of scales weighing 3.6 ounces. This set is not square but basically 5 inches shortest x 1.5 wide x a varied thickness of 1/16th to ¼ inches. Slightly on the thin side overall but thick enough for most applications. Very slid no cracks good colors all the way through $95

Piece # 4 is 4.2 ounces. This is the tip of a tusk. Usable length about 5 inches (measures almost 7 inches but not the screwy end). Tapers from 1.5 inches across to the tip at ¼ across. About half an inch thick. Feels comfortable in hand as is for hidden tang . Some slight restored cracks but in general very solid and no issues can be crosscut and stay together etc. Nice soft mixture of tans well formed tip. $85.

Hey John! Bears? Fear? My view is , we can shoot the bears. They haven’t got a chance. 'Fear' is people. We are supposed to dial 911, and hope someone cares. That’s scary.

Very true Miles and well said. :thumbup:


But coming face to face with a Griz and being on the menu scares me just a little...:D
 
Hey Miles,

I'll take #3. PayPal coming. By the way, that seacow bone worked out pretty well!

Thanks,

Kevin
 
Hey Kevin!
Glad sea cow bone worked out. You ordered a few things. Some already had sold, some I had. Got the order sent out and emailed you and refunded some money through pay pal. I’ll have more listed when I get to it.
 
Got mine today Miles. Looks great. Fast shipping and a good all around deal from a stand up guy. :thumbup:
 
Hey! Where'd my pictures disappear too?! His John! Glad you are happy with the order. It can be challenging selling raw materials as each item is unique, pictures do not always tell us all we need to know. Show me the knife you use it on if you think of it.
