Local Showcase is proud of its selection of whale and walrus bones, artifacts (harpoon heads, slate blades, digging tools and more), walrus teeth, mammoth teeth, antlers, glass floats and other natural found objects from Alaska.
Local Showcase is also proud to present original antique maps of Alaska, original Alaska canned salmon labels from the '40's, vintage Alaska-themed salt and pepper shakers, original Alaska-themed magazine ads and other "Alaskana."
