[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10771087, member: 79705"]:shame: You're welcome! High praise coming from you on both the compliments and the worth of my meager "research" as you've undoubtedly seen many more treasures than I have! :D I saw examples of antique tortoise cameos in a book and was blown away by how beautiful they were and being such a creative use of a historic material. I did not think i would ever have any due to the rarity, but I have been lucky. Does it have wavy lines on it's scutes?? :D Zero buckaroos, but you might get a trade. :playful: The real thing gets called horn, faux, plastic, bakelite... If the seller knows it's tortoise then the price will reflect that though. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
