<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 2718149, member: 4654"]Your right, it's almost impossible to tell the age or even if it's ivory from photos but stylistically it is of that period and the shade of ivory yellows with time. If you get a red hot pin and push it in it shouldn't go in at all. If that happens then you are dealing with bone or ivory, if there are no black flecks then it's ivory, the yellowing and splitting is impossible to fake, only time will produce these features.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
