<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 585397, member: 10171"]Which makes end of WWII/50s a very logical time for purchases in Alaska. Not that the collector was military personnel, but for obvious reasons, people were in Alaska a lot for military reasons during the time period, relatively speaking, vs before Alaska became a radar post. I can see that 'business was booming' for scrimshaw all of a sudden. I would be hesitant to date them to the 30s. Need some real help for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>[post after komokwa... so more confirmation][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
