Antique 57" Narwhal Tusk imported from England

Description

This tusk is on the left in the photo, it is 57" long, 1 3/4" in diameter at the base and weighs 4 pounds 4.5 ounces.  This tusk is nice and white, smooth with a nice shine, patina and twisting. This tusk and it's slightly bigger brother caught the last flight out from London bound for America just before it became illegal to sell any ivory in England, even antique ivory, imagine all the incredible old ivory works of art from around the world in England that are now illegal to sell.  The desire of kings and emperors,  this tusk is priced at only $21,000 which includes UPS shipping and insurance.  We prefer payment by personal or bank check or bank wire rather than credit card and will give a $200 discount.  A rare opportunity to own one of these.  We ship very well packaged and insured thru UPS, we have shipped many over the years. This tusk is over 100 years old with import documents and permits and is exempt from MMPA restrictions due to age, comes with an invoice and a letter from us.

Narwhal tusks (pre 1972) can be shipped within the U.S. and with an export permit can be shipped to some countries overseas.  The average size is 6’-7’ but can be much longer, these came into the U.S. from Canada before 1972 (53 years ago).   When the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted it ended the importation into the U.S. but grandfathered/allowed the trade in tusks already here.  We acquire these from individuals and estates, they are rare, we usually have at least one, please inquire.
