Alaskan Inuit/Eskimo Artifacts Walrus Tusk, Bone, Baleen

A fascinating grouping of vintage/antique artifacts from Alaska, including:

A salt/pepper shaker with scrimshaw pattern and cork plug

A miniature totem pole, likely carved from bone - not Inuit/Eskimo, but rather a southwest Alaska tribe

A fascinating group of carved artifacts from Alaska consisting of a fish, a scrimshaw fish, a baleen fish, and another carved item, perhaps a toggle. The markings on the smaller fish indicate an age of 100 years or more. Probably impossible to see on the baleen fish are some markings in red pigment, something we haven't encountered before.

See the image with the ruler for size reference.
