A section of vintage pre 1972 whale jaw bone it is 3 1/2 pounds,  8 1/2" tall x 5 1/2" tapering to 6" wide and 1 1/2" at it thickest.  This bone is light color under the grime, very dense in most areas and excellent for very unique gun and knife grips, carving, hooks, dice and pens, it polishes up really good.  We have another piece the same size and a few other pieces that are different, listing soon.  This is pre 1972 Washington state legal for sale to Washington state buyers only. 

The ruler Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with U. S. Fish and Wildlife, we got that handsome wooden ruler from our local U. S. F & W Fish Hatchery, it is attractive and just the right size for the photo.
