ELABORATE, PIERCE CARVED, WHALE IVORY PIE CRIMPER. Entire handle and wheel arms made using a single piece of whale ivory that is beautifully carved throughout with heart and diamond designs. 6 3/8" long with a 2" diameter serrated wheel. Condition excellent. Appears to be by the same maker as examples shown on page 58, illustration 90, in the book "A Mariner's Fancy" by Hellman and Brouwer. Circa 1840-50. Very nice example of its type.
