MAMMOTH BONE FIRE STARTER scrimshaw replica UNUSUAL ITEM

Description

THIS IS A RESIN REPRODUCTION PIECE AND DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY U.S.LAWS OR EBAY RULES CONCERNING ENDANGERED SPECIES.
This is a reproduction of a piece of mammoth bone that was fashioned into a fire starter palm handle. Ancient peoples discovered that friction could start a fire and made starters using a bowed stick, a string of some kind, a sharpened wooden stick and a handle.
This shows the round hole where the sharpened stick rested when held.
Very nice scrimshaw artwork.
5&1/4 inches long
I personally hand make all my reproductions. Each one is carefully crafted from the finest materials. The Scrimshaw teeth, bone and tusks will "age" over time when exposed to any light. So, after time, they look more and more "old".
They all have the nicks and scratches associated with the original teeth, some more than others. All have a money back guarantee.
