Eskimo walrus tusk cribbage board c1911

This Inuit Eskimo scrimshaw etched cribbage board measures 20 and one half inches long and is dated April 14 1911 on its reverse. The Eskimos learned to make cribbage boards form contacts with whalers in the mid 19th century. This Walrus tusk depicts walrus and fish. There is one chip and a one half inch line crack at the end where the tusk met the walrus.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
