<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10314504, member: 79705&quot;]I remember this lady of yours! (Because I&#039;ve read every cameo related thing on the board... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely give the article a skim when you have time. Really interesting and there&#039;s a lot in there about caring for celluloid. I feel better about the struggle to ID it because she talks about that and basically says you have to have access to a science lab to confirm it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The piece I have could never be confused for real ivory (if it had the lines). Like Bronwen&#039;s Ceres, its a definite plastic sound like you&#039;re tapping on a vintage xmas decoration. It&#039;s very light weight. My ivory pieces are substantial and have a sort of creamy feel to them. I can check the UV of ivory vs this piece...but UV is a point of deterioration for celluloid. She references far UV as a real culprit, and I think blacklights are akin to short UV, but less is more is probably best. Celluloid seems an extremely finicky thing to keep. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So if mine is carved then that&#039;s throwing a wrench in an easy ID between ivory and celluloid... Especially in photos. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s awfully wily of them to carve plastic lol. That&#039;s not helpful haha. But it is interesting. I still love a handmade object and that counts![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
