<p>[QUOTE="Earl Brill, post: 562979, member: 10336"]It seems like ivory from the shiny refraction, the pale color (bone is more to the buttermilk shades), the glazed surfaces and the fine work. Plus: bone is very brittle, and would fit less as a knob to a walking cane. </p><p>If you are not sure, do as I do and tap it against your teeth; bone will give you a lower pitched 'thud', and you will feel "gain", like you could bite it. Ivory will give you a higher pitch 'klink', and will feel hard like your own teeth (since it's tooth). </p><p>Hope this helped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
