Took a day trip to Dover, Ohio yesterday and visited the https://thewarthermuseum.com/. Just amazing pieces of work. Most of his work was done with ebony & legal ivory. There is no glue used on any of his pieces, everything is carved to fit. He never sold any of his carvings. These 3 trains were some of his early works. The wheels came from a local pool hall and were damaged ivory cue balls. This was a prototype being designed that has boiler & power in the tender car to help push the train up hills. This is the only known model of this type of train. The handrails measure under 1/16"dia. Lincoln funeral train. All the lettering is ivory inlayed into the ebony. Abalone trim on the cars and wheels. The rope that rings the bell is a single piece of ivory about 1/32"dia. Lincoln inside the funeral car. This piece was made of just ivory & the train's weight is 72 pounds. The bridge is ebony with highlights in walnut and the mortar joints are made of ivory. This piece to a year to carve.
