[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 2718284, member: 301"]The lovely [USER=11833]@AntiqueAnimals[/USER] has provided exellent photos so that those of us who KNOW ivory, and handled ivory, can make a determination on what we see. For me, the schreger lines are there, and the knife cuts are there and the cracking from age and use as a cane topper are consistent with what I know to be an ivory handle. For others, the carved design leads them towards a style of carving that image, which may point towards a dating and origin.[/QUOTE]
