FF: The replica Antique Sail ship scrimshaw box from Early Home Décor
This week I present a few items with a nautical motif – classic sailing vessels of the high seas. First up is this replica Antique Sail ship scrimshaw box from Early Home Décor.
About the replica Antique Sail ship scrimshaw box from Early Home Décor: “Antique replica made with white bone over wood. The lid is etched with the iconic image of a sailship. The box has antiqued brass hinges and latch. The interior is lined with felt. Scrimshaw is said to be one of the earliest forms of American art done by American whalers while at sea.”

FF: The Richard E Bishop America’s Cup Decanter Set from Tuckernuck
Finally, what is a Friday Finds post without a bourbon-related Find? I have been on a quest to find vintage and/or interesting decanters this summer, and the Richard E. Bishop America’s Cup Decanter Set from Tuckernuck is definitely a contender.
About the Richard E Bishop America’s Cup Decanter Set from Tuckernuck: “First produced in 1932 glassware featuring the art of Richard E Bishop continues to be a tradition for the sporting gentleman and collector. A nautical favorite, the colored etchings featured a cobalt medallion with high resolution line art of the yacht “AMERICA,” winner of the first America’s Cup race.”
