cinesage Posted July 12, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I really like Kirmse's Curios in Skagway, lots of local artists work, interesting photographs, wonderful soaps, knifes, and - in the back - Russian Santa Clauses and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhsaltshaker Posted July 12, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I didn't think ivory was allowed in the US. No problems traveling with that? I'm thinking if it was made in the US, it is allowed in the US? Trying to remember, but I think native Alaskans are allowed to 'utilize' the ivory, just like Alaskan tribes are allowed to hunt whales? Someone will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up before I bought it. Ivory from extinct or American mammals like walrus is legal to purchase and transport if it has been carved into art. "New ivory" from living mammals can only be carved by Alaskan natives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
