Big, Wide and Genuine Vintage Sperm Whale Tooth – Circa 1960s | Ex Cheynes Beach Whaling Station

This big, wide, and authentically vintage sperm whale tooth is a rare and historic piece, sourced from the former Cheynes Beach Whaling Station in Western Australia, active during the 1960s—a significant era in commercial whaling history.

Measuring approximately 6 inches in length and weighing 1.6 pounds, this tooth is 100% solid bone, with no hollow areas and excellent overall structure. Its broad form and aged appearance make it a standout piece for collectors, scrimshaw artists, or maritime history enthusiasts.

The tooth features light surface staining, typical of vintage marine specimens, but this discoloration does not penetrate deep into the bone and can be easily sanded off if a cleaner surface is desired for restoration or carving.

It comes with official CITES documentation, making it legal for ownership and international export, which adds tremendous value to collectors seeking compliance and provenance.

This tooth is not just a marine relic—it’s a rare opportunity to own a legally documented and exportable piece of nautical history.
