I bought this out of an auction years ago. I knew it was a reproduction piece, but it was nice. i got in touch with the New Bedford Whaling Museum. They informed me that they had the original on display. They said they hadn't seen many reproductions of the tusk. They said it was worth more than I had paid. I am cutting back on my marine collection. It is 16 inches long. Please look at the pictures and ask questions. I ship to your zip. I will always combine shipping for you, just wait for your invoice. I saw one of these recently in a gift shop in Sausalito,Ca, they wanted a $145.00 for it.Makes mine a real bargain.This is the last price reduction, can't go lower; sorry. What I reduced it by should pay for postage.
