And you know that one thing that you have, the pipe with the tusks? Right. I don't think you've ever used it. No. No. That's his kind of stuff. Oh, I see. So he knew I was coming on your show, and he goes, can I make you and Joe a special carving? Can you give Joe his when you see him? I said, yeah. I'll give it to him when I go down there. So I brought it to you. It's here in this box.
This is the kind of stuff.
Thank you. Yes.
Yeah. All right. His name's Chuck Leak, probably the best ivory carver on the planet. There's a picture of him carving a, he carved a letter opener for the Pope. There's a piece of tape there in the middle, Joe, on the front, right where your hand is.
Might have to cut it or something.
Mammoth tooth with a mammoth carved into it.
We can arrange that, Joe.
I've had him make me one for every animal that we've found. He's got them with horses.
Huge. That's probably an adult female.
Yep.
No. Anyways, Chuck has made, for every animal that we've found out there, he's taken a mammoth tooth and carved the animal inside it just like that mammoth.
Well, I want to get the saber-toothed tiger back right now. I can't seem to find it. One museum stole one, and I think the other museum stole one, too. So one museum stole one? The British Museum stole one. And AM&H says they never got one. But the correspondence that's listing there talks about them being shipped to New York. Talks about the agreement we had with AM&H.
Sorry. Sorry. Otto Geist was a scumbag that collected for him. He was a railroad field hand. Now he ended up with a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Alaska who was in on this whole deal.
I have a letter posted of what I consider a pretty... Interesting way to offer a bribe back in the day. Really? Yeah, it's posted. How did they do the bribe? It was a letter from Charles Frick to the president of the University of Alaska. And the sentence that got my attention was, well, first of all, you invited him to join him and his wife in New York City for a night at the mansion.
And then the last sentence was, and we can discuss things that man always needs more of.
Pussy? Well, you don't buy that. You rent that. Gold?
Back in the day, it was a king's English. They talked proper and all that.
And we all collect stuff. What do you collect? What's your favorite thing to collect? Pool cues. Pool cues. There you go.
I think you'll be able to make a few out of that.
I got more if he needs more. I don't know what size he needs or how thick it should be. I don't know either.
