[QUOTE="kristiaan, post: 164332, member: 654"]Hello there, it as been a while since I posted. We moved to a new location and bringing all the stuff from different ware houses into one kept me buissy...and still is. Anyway, here is my latest entry; a scrimshaw whale bone plate measuring 16.2 / 12.8 cm and signed by William L. Roderick. I didn't noticed the signature untill I was handling it at home and probably nobody else saw it (or knew it!) at the auctionhouse where I got it. Because I got it at the price of a normal avarage scrimshaw plate. Doing some research I stumbled on srcimshaw made by William L. Roderick at very high prices. So my question is; is it real!? I don't know much about bones or ivory, but I do know about plastics, and thise one sounds and feels like bone (no plastic( didn't do the hotneedle test yet!)). Detail pic's were made with a magnifyer. Intresting (to me !) detail is the flag at the top of the mast that got carved but not colorized ...for some reason.... Intrested to hear your opinions. cheers |<ris[/QUOTE]
