Due to current individual state laws, we do not ship ivory to the states of California or Washington. It is the responsibility of the winning bidder to determine their respective state regulations regarding ivory and other wildlife materials, and proceed accordingly.

We respect the laws of the United States, and determine to the best of our ability that all ivory, horn, tortoiseshell, scrimshaw and other related materials have origin preceding all applicable domestic bans. We do not condone or encourage modern day traffic of ivory or slaughter of wild animals. A small portion of each sale of wildlife material will go to the African Elephant Conservation Fund.

Minor surface wear throughout, spoon looks great, silver is absent on side and appears to have been painted over at a later time
