Scrimshaw Question

    I believe this money clip may be whalebone scrimshaw. What does it look like to you? It seems to be signed. When I run my fingernail over it, it is etched. It's only base metal. Thanks.

    It's probably some kind of bone but most likely not whale bone. Looks like a modern piece, not old.
