Offered here for your consideration is a scrimshaw scene on a walrus tusk souvenir of the Bucket of Blood Saloon in Victor, Colorado. This large walrus tusk has been decorated lavishly by a scrimshander of obvious skill. Commemorating the Bucket of Blood Saloon in Victor Colorado, the name of the saloon and town are emblazoned in the middle of the tusk in bold black lettering. In keeping with Victor, Colorado's reputation as "The City of Goldmines" the artist inscribed a dark timbered mine entrance to the left of the center and, to the right, a prospector panning for gold in a mountain stream. The tusk is capped with a nice hammered copper end cap. This is a large tusk, skillfully decorated as a reminder of Colorado's glory days as a gold mining center. A great addition to any collection of mining, scrimshaw, Colorado or old west items. Bid now to make it yours!
