<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 9930609, member: 6444&quot;]I’ve had this several years from an estate cleanout. I believe it to be original scrimshaw on some sort of tusk, not mass produced plastic as it may first appear. Only mark on the metal pie server is “stainless” in a mid-20th type font.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m in the northeast, so haven’t seen anything like this before. I would certainly guess it to be a “utilitarian” use of art to broaden sales in a gift shop. Easier for some people to justify buying a decorated functional piece for their table than an art piece to put on a shelf. Sorry I haven’t cleaned it better, but I am looking to find out whether it is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But is this by a First Nations artist, or assembly line churn out? What say you, [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] and anyone else with knowledge?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]498772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498774[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
