No answer down that alley unfortunately. Tested negative. I’m pretty sure it’s from a beast of some type.
Oh wow, that never occurred to me. I tested tons of possibly Bakelite things I have recently too. I’ll let you know how it turns out. It looked...
Can’t figure out what this is? It resembles horn more than anything else to me but it doesn’t look like horn totally either. It’s so rich and...
