Hi every body at New Bedford
As former attendees at the scrimshaw collectors weekends Gabby and I would really appreciate a more detailed report (including photos) of the weekends activities.Stuart Frank will appreciate that as one gets older and funds are not so readily available it is difficult to attend from Australia on a regular basis.Best regards to all those who still remember us.

In 2006 we had three months in South America but have since been only on trips in Australia.
I have antique walrus tusks that are still attached to the bone muzzle which had been cleanly sliced from the rest of the skull. How can I get this item appraised?
