"Bill Christian was recognized as one of the leading artists and authorities on Scrimshaw. His work is represented in all leading scrimshaw collections® in New Bedford, Gloucester, Mystic, New York, Boston, John F. Kennedy and the Smithsonian. Some of his work is registered in the Library of Congress.
Very little of his works were ever available on the open market as it was originally offered to collectors of record by the museums listed above. A few hand selected galleries were fortunate enough to carry his works like, Lahaina Galleries.
