You come across all sorts of things on maritime auction sites, but it's fair to say I have never seen anything quite like this before! Well I have, but not in a maritime auction ;) In case you're in any doubt, the catalogue entry describes it as a "rare piece of nautical art, a scrimshaw hollow container with a lid in the form of a phallus.

*snort* I don't know about what to giggle first. The object or the descriptions :) Fine conversation piece :) Indeed!
I wonder, if it was used on a ship in a 'proper' manner, too!??? Cooool!

[anteros_lmc]

Enough of this snorting and giggling! I'll have you know this is a rare piece of nautical art. Oh yes.

I wonder, if it was used on a ship in a 'proper' manner, too!???
One certainly does wonder..... ;P

[amaraal]

Agreed - it's art :) No saltshaker - art :) No to the proper use on a ship, because... erm... they had... they were fragile :) *slinks away*

Have as good a time as you can-- and hurry back!

"Condition Report" on the site reached from the link.
"Fine antique condition, scuffs, no breaks or damage, surprising stamina for a 200 year-old"
Discuss!

I am imagining the cataloguers sitting there decking themselves laughing while trying to draft the filthiest catalogue entry they could get away with XD

Two half-naked (at least) women, one of whom is demonstrating the "proper use"...do you think the hint of lesbianism was intentional?

[anteros_lmc]

I do believe it may have been ;)

[aletheiafelinea]

Ahem, should I ask: container for what? *g*

[eglantine_br]

My first thought--please, God, not snacks!

CLICK :> *scampers away*
