A pair of elaborately engraved scrimshaw teeth by an anonymous 19th century artisan commonly refered to as "The Banknote Engraver". The teeth are displayed with hand-written banknote forgeries made by French prisoners-of-war while incarcerated at the Valleyfield Depot in Scotland. The notes are dated 1810 & 1812.
From the personal collection of John F. Rinaldi and currently not for sale.
