Welcome !

My name is Charles Calkins, son of Jack M and Virginia D Calkins.
I am the Trustee for the Estate of Jack M and Virginia D Calkins.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My parents spent a lifetime accumulating antiques and collectibles from the northeastern region of the United States. In the summer of 2007, they died within months of each other after having been married for 62 years. Most of their aquisitions were made in the early 1970s.

My parents owned an oil processing/refining plant in northeast Philadelphia.
One of the products that was processed/refined was whale oil.
This is the reason why you will see a number of whale oil items [and related] in these pages.

Important Note:
All of the whale/walrus items listed are more than 100 years old and have been in the possession of my family for more than forty (40) years.

I appreciate your interest in these items.

Please let me hear from you should you wish to make an offer to purchase any of these items.
Our preferred method of communication is EMail (see EMail address below).

I will only list those items that are currently unsold and available for sale.
