    Hi,
    Would this be bone trim on this desktop book slide?
    Sorry about the photos, I'm not sure why I can't get a clear shot.
    Any information appreciated
    thanks for looking

    It would be hard to get the curved sections in one piece out of any kind of bone. It is not Celluloid/similar. Looks like ivory to me, cut with the grain.

    4 4 ivory. And as pewter thought, probably ebony.
    Very stylish, I like it.
