Thats why I called it...."this thing"...wasn't sure what to call it esp. when I seen the hole drilled into the outer rim....I thought maybe it was off of a keychain. I have no idea what a scrimshaw even is or means or what good it is to daily life on the planet...I just wanted to know what it was....and thanks for the ebay link...guy must be good at what he does...whatever that is..lol.
