Please remember when viewing these pictures that much of the finer detail is lost in photographs of scrimshaw. Combined with the low resolution of the web, these pictures are only a shallow representation of the quality of these pieces. Unless otherwise noted, all the dimensions given are overall dimensions to include the mount.
