#101 Whale
Tooth
(Order Number WTH01-WB)
See Price List Below
This style of mount is
very popular, the tooth sets on a 1/4" brass rod atop of 3-5/8" Dia. Walnut Base
NOTE: The tooth in all 3
mounts
"Some Assembly is Required."
You will have to
insert the Brass into the hole provided in the walnut base, then set the Whale
Tooth on top of the brass rod moving it around a bit to find the hole that has
been drilled for it up in the tooth cavity. When you've found the hole gently
press downward until the tooth stops and the assembly is
complete.

Hunting Whales was a risky business especially if you were a member of a crew
that went out in small row boats trying to get close enough to harpoon the great
beasts. One doesn't think of a Whale as being smart, however, like Dolphins
whales have been proven to be very intelligent and able to experience many
feelings, including "Anger." Herman Melville was the author of the great book,
"Moby Dick," a story about a Whaling ship Captain and his relentless pursuit of
a Malicious Great White Whale named Moby Dick. You can read a little about this
Whale and more on our
"History of
Scrimshaw" page.

This photo shows the conical void that real Whales teeth have.
With our process we are able to capture this void as well as the irregular
bottom edge with all of the nicks and chips that are found on real Whales teeth.
Our teeth will also take on a rich golden color with age, making them look even
more like the old original teeth found in museums.
|
Our Whale teeth look very real with one exception, the tip of the tooth
doesn't have the yellowish tan discoloration found on real Whale's teeth, as
shown in the photo below with the blue background. The tip of our Whale tooth,
with the red background, is the same uniform color as the rest of the tooth.
 
We have tried to make our Whale teeth
look as real as possible but we don't
want anyone buying one thinking
they have
purchased a real tooth.
We only sell Polymer
Reproduction Teeth.
