Does it actually sparkle?
I'm pretty much as baffled as ever, although close to certainty that it is carved in natural bone or some type of ivory. Can you tell whether the...
Exactement, ma cherie.
Sort of a tall sided skillet?
Only if it comes with a lot of coins. But might still make a great gift for a young kid who isn't so hooked that they turn up their noses at...

I wonder what that one said! This reminds me of something long forgotten: as a child I had one of those coin/change maker things, with a tube...

Have often thought that if I could sell my few inherited ivory pieces (mother bought a couple of bracelets in big sales held right before US ban...
I considered Gagnon, but.. Knew I should be thinking in terms of letter combinations that are pronounceable in French, even if weird for English....
That's all?!! Brilliant! A museum restoration expert might have used different materials, but doubt outcome would be much, if any, better. Yes,...
A. Gagnod, Qeubec?
Cheese bell? Maybe a tad small for that.
Separate names with a comma.
