Hiya, I had a client contact me today with a request to track down a Toronto Huskies ticket for his father. I suspect they are quite rare. The...
I get your semantic point. Ivory is ivory is ivory. And the slaughter of elephants now is the same as then. Perhaps I will find a museum that can...
I agree. I wouldn't touch anything pre 1900, let alone modern. I know and trust the auction house they were bought from, and their provenance....
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask everyone how they feel about trading in antique ivory. It's a touchy subject for sure. For dealers who do online...

Hello All, Once again I find myself in a quandary, so once again I am turning to you amazing folk. I have a bit of a thing for maps, so when I...
Yay Facebook to the rescue. Thanks for the tip. I will try there. Will keep everyone posted
Thank you for the warm welcome. We try hard to keep things interesting, because the alternative is, well... boring I guess. This is one of the...
