Authentic Alaskan Eskimo Billikens

Alaska's Good Luck Billiken Charm

The Billiken is considered Alaska's good luck charm and first appeared around 1909.  Billikens come in many different sizes and are crafted from various materials.  The favorite medium is ancient walrus ivory, much of it thousands of years old, but can also be made from moose antler, jade, caribou antler, stellar sea cow rib bone, and soapstone.  Billikens come in many forms such as pendants, earrings, key chains, and larger self-standing show pieces. 

For your billiken to bring you luck, always remember this billiken charm:

"Rub his tummy, tickle his toes, good luck follows wherever he goes.  As a blues chaser he's a honey, for good luck, just rub his tummy."
