This is an outstanding pair of scrimshawed whale teeth which appear to have been made into “cordial cups” to commemorate the 1864 Presidential Election, in which incumbent Abraham Lincoln defeated George McClellan. These two whale teeth were scrimshawed with lovely wreaths around the inscriptions \u003cstrong\u003e“A.
