Large Vintage Sperm Whale Tooth – Circa 1960s | From Cheynes Beach Whaling Station
This Large and authentic vintage sperm whale tooth, dating back to the 1960s, is a rare maritime relic sourced from a private collection that once belonged to a former worker at the Cheynes Beach Whaling Station—Australia’s last operating whaling station before its closure.
Measuring approximately 7.4 inches in length and weighing an impressive 1.8 pounds, this tooth stands out not only for its excellent condition and solid structure but also for its historical provenance. The surface is clean and smooth with no cracks but a cut at the bottom as seen in the photo.
Larger sperm whale teeth of this size and authenticity are becoming increasingly scarce, making this a valuable acquisition for collectors, maritime historians, or scrimshaw artists seeking a true piece of whaling history.
Perfect as a display piece or collector’s item, this sperm whale tooth is not just an object—it’s a tangible link to the last chapter of Australia’s whaling heritage.
Has all its CITES documents and can be exported.
