19TH CENT. LIGNIUM VITAE DEADEYE - 5 1/4" DIAMETER - AS-FOUND COND. (D)

Description

A mid-9th century deadeye from a ship's rigging, in as-found un-touched condition. The deadeye is lignum vitae, 5" in diameter. The un-touched surface, obviously from serving on a hard-worked old vessel, shows its age and use in minor chips, checks and dings, and in the warm surface color. One of several deadeyes we are currently offering.
