How about this one - a 'scrimshaw' lace bobbin carved by a sailor at sea for
his sweetheart! Really???

Where do sellers get their ideas from?

This particular idea stems from the knowledge that all bone
items were carved by sailors for their sweethearts, and
that all those sailors were on whalers in 1843.
It's the same knowledge from which we get all that lace that is
indisputably victorian. :-
