Narwhal Tusk Slabs 1 ” wide x 4 5/8” long, these are 7/16” thick, they are sanded flat on on both sides. they are 2 halves of a  a slabbed section of a narwhal tusk. both have the exterior exterior pattern indicative of narwhal tusks. They are 1960’s vintage . This is the only set like this we have. Could be used for handles all sorts of unique projects. Pretty rare!

We are selling off these pieces that came from the J.L. Houston Company, a company that imported and used all types of ivory in their manufacturing for the Alaskan ivory trade from the 1950’s until the 1990’s. This narwhal ivory was imported in the 1960’s from Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada where the narwhal are still hunted by the Inuit. So: "To the best of our knowledge and belief this narwhal ivory predates the 1972 marine Mammal Protection Act and is legal to ship within the U.S.  The J. L. Houston Company has been closed for years and when this ivory is gone that is the end of it.
