A classic gift for men or anyone who enjoys the gravitas of a vintage office.

Made from durable Ox Bone and measuring 9 inches long, this engraved scrimshaw piece is both functional and beautiful.

Perfect gift for the office or home.

Begun by sailors working on whaling ships out of New England, scrimshaw may be the only art form that originated in America. 

This scrimshaw is created by engraving varying designs on ox bone or ox horn. Sealed with bone powder and epoxy, lacquer-coated and hand-polished.

Mermaid design is evocative of classic tattoo art and sailors' lore.

  • Natural, authentic and durable ox bone, not a synthetic or manufactured material so naturally occurring imperfections may be noticeable

  • Contoured index finger and thumb notches for better grip
  • Crescent cut-away tip for effectively sliding under sealed envelope flaps
  • Themes: men's gift, gift for him, dad, husband, brother, home office, desk, Americana
