    If someone can tell me what this resin pin sold for on Worthpoint....I've had one floating around in a jewelry box for ages....they're calling it 'scrimshaw', seen it listed elsewhere over time for the $33. range.....just very curious!!! Thanks!!! (posting my own!!- only 1 5/8" long).

    Looks like one of the resin copies made from her original scrimshaw pieces.
