Can anyone tell me what this is? And if its worth anything? I found this at a garage sale today. It looks to be hand made drawings of a lighthouse, boat ect...

Is there a seam in that object?
Does it screw apart?

No seam and it doesn't come apart.

The item is solid. Dont know what it is made of.

Do you know the approximate dimensions? Could it be some sort of ornament or is it too heavy/large?

 

[khanos]

It looks like it to me too! But I can't seem to find one like it. Its not heavy but its not glass weight either.

That seems like a good place for it.

You nailed it! Faux scrimshaw ornament. I spent a few minutes looking for a value but I came up empty. But armed with the knowledge you provided I am sure the OP can figure it out. Great work!

I agree that it is worth dollars and not hundreds of dollars but the link you provided wasn't the same as the ornament that was originally posted. I'm not sure they would be monetarily equivalent.

Yes it is a vintage nautical scrimshaw ornament. Thanks for the info!!
