I picked up this beautiful pendant in Eastern WA State. It is a lovely scrimshaw piece and is signed "Schulte" on the front. There is another makers mark on the back but I dont recognize it. I'm having trouble researching it because I can't seem to find anything comparable. Is it a Bonnie Schulte piece? I've seen a few photos of her scrimshaw work on knives and the signature looks the same. But I cant find any examples of jewelry that she has done. Unlike the knives this is not dated. Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
Here is all I found:

"1979 Art Deco-style oval pendant. Northwest mastodon tusk set in sterling silver by world famous Oregon scrimshander Bonnie Schulte. One of a kind."
An eBay link throughout which I couldn't find the above set, or art deco style pendant. (Which could be the one in your post.) I think she has made jewelery, it's just very hard to find.
Actually, I am sure it is the one in your post.
Love the sea design!
Thanks Gillian! I saw that listing but photos wouldn't come up. Wish I could see them. Thanks for the confirmation. : )
