Product Overview

This stunning replica Sperm Whale Tooth is part of the collection at the Nantucket Whaling Museum.  The title of this tooth is called "Bethel". It is a replica of an Antique Tooth that was originally made by Artek for the Nantucket Whaling Museum.  The front of the replica tooth depicts a whaling scene with the phrase "Liberty and Unity" etched into the piece.  On the back is a the whaling port of Bethel with a ship docked.  "Far at Sea" song lyrics are etched into the back of the piece.  This was written by Jane Cross Simpson in circa 1830:

"Star of peace to wanderers weary!
Bright the beams that smile on me!
Cheer the pilot's vision dreary,
Far, far at sea.

Star of hope! gleam on the billow;
Bless the soul that sighs for Thee,
Bless the sailor's lonely pillow,
Far, far at sea.

Star of faith! when winds are mocking
All his toil, he flies to Thee;
Save him on the billow rocking,
Far, far at sea.

Star divine! oh! safely guide him;
Bring the wanderer home to Thee;
Sore temptations long have tried him
Far, far at sea."

 

The original was etched over 100 years ago.  The reproduced tooth is currently made in our studio in Fall River, MA.  The finish is made to recreate the look of an antique tooth.  

This beautiful replica Sperm Whale Tooth weighs 13.4 ounces.  The dimensions are 7.49" x 2.39"x 2.18.  The item number is SP - 05. 

Our mold is made off of the original piece from the Museum Collecition.  We then make a mold of the original piece and do an open cast pour of our resin mixture.  The pieces are removed from the mold and sanded and inked.

We believe that serving nature is one of the commissions that we as humans have been given here on earth.  We wish to lend our resources to those charged with protecting elephants from poaching for their ivory. 

On a monthly basis we donate to organizations whose purpose to protect the elephants and other species throughout the planet.  We focus our donations on organizations that put the money to good use and have a low overhead. With the majority of incoming funds going back to saving the elephants!
