Desk flag stand; probably belonged to a trade executive or diplomat. Has silk Norwegian flag.
	Flagpole is chromed brass; all ivory is sperm whale. Matched teeth are ~ 1 inch diameter and 4 inches on the outside curve. Base is black lacquered wood, 6.5 in. square. I believe the black inserts in the flagpole base are ebony. Total height is 33 inches. Some invisible and reversible conservation has been performed, but no new pieces have been added.  One of the tooth tips is cracked, and the flagpole tip is broken off. My parents purchased this in an antique shop in Red Wing, MN about 1970.

Pair of cow walrus tusks with Native American couple scrimshawed in polychrome
	These tusks are at least 50 years old and in excellent condition.  They are 10-3/8 inches high by about 1.5 inches wide at the base.  The conical hollow was partly cut off to prevent cracking, but the center of it is still there. From the dress, and the straight, unbraided hair of the woman, I believe these to be either Ojibwa or Odawa.
