<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3340512, member: 8363&quot;]I am incurable optimist.&nbsp; This very small slice (2 1/2&quot; inches x 1&quot; x 1/8&quot; of something has a sailing ship engraved on it.&nbsp; I bought it to ask questions, so if something real shows up later, I can spot it.&nbsp; Therefore, I would very much appreciate you helping with my quest.&nbsp; I have a piece of modern scrimshaw by a current artist, but I would like to find a reasonably priced older piece.&nbsp; I would like to know how to tell the difference through the eyes of people who handle this type of art.</p><p>The reasons I thought it was older is the yellowish color of the piece, and it looks like a flake of an original piece of something.&nbsp; The argument for fake is that it has a bale that a chain is attached to.&nbsp; I appreciate any comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]299401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299402[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299403[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299408[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
