Product Description
Money clip with repurposed piano key ivory scrimshaw
This Mammoth Ivory Scrimshaw Money Clip features repurposed antique piano key ivory engraved with authentic scrimshaw by resident artist Brian Kiracofe. Each design is hand‑etched into the ivory and finished with ink, creating a detailed, one‑of‑a‑kind piece of functional maritime art.
The clip is available in your choice of silver‑tone or gold‑tone plating and measures 2" x 1" x 3/16". Choose from a wide variety of nautical and historic designs — or request a custom engraving.
Scrimshaw has its origins aboard whaling ships, where sailors passed long months at sea by engraving whale teeth and bone. Brian continues this tradition, using the same hand‑engraving techniques to create modern scrimshaw pieces with classic maritime character.
