Can you see any veins or lines running through the piece? Ivory and bone will have distinct lines running the length of the piece. (in reply to Willman669) Post #: 6

BUT...if it doesn't sell I'm burning it lol . http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&item=180016574525&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 (in reply to Dive4bottles) Post #: 9
