TopShelfs trees (Part 4)

I think I saw some carved stuff here recently? My mother-in-law worked at an antique store. These were wrapped in some towels in a drawer on a load from England, and conveniently NOT on the manifest.
I’m no expert but I’ve been told these are Sperm Whale teeth.

I’ve seen pictures of scrimshaws before but never in person. That would be so cool @crownpoodle !
I watch a show called “Auction Kings” in which they sold a few of them. Oh my goodness! They made a killing on those things. People paid a ton of greenbacks for them.

FYI.
Their called Scrimshaws from the British slang word “scrimshanker” which means “One who wastes time”.
Look it up. Funny stuff. lol

Ugh. I went back to sleep this morning for some reason, probably in spite of losing an hour, now my whole day has been dragging ass.

Good morning @TopShelfTrees1 and crew!
I think it’s funny, people posting about daylight savings lag. That’s just a normal day in my life. I am without a “sleeping pattern”. Haven’t had one in years. It’s like changing the clocks every day over and over and over and over…
:wink:
I am a sleep deprived zombie from way back!

lol it’s true actually, I haven’t had a proper sleep schedule in years either, but for some reason it messes me up, everytime. I was up until 2, ya 2 am :man_facepalming:t2: then back up by 7 and I definitely didn’t sleep nearly all of that. I’m a horrible sleeper anymore, but if I don’t get at least 5 hours in bed I’m zombified .
