<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 647628, member: 2844&quot;]This does not look like carved ivory at all, with that sheen and those bumps. It looks like molded and carved plastic, in this case celluloid:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]183868[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It would have been molded, with some details carved, hence the term hand carved celluloid.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back has those parallel faux ivory lines with one of the colours looking almost translucent (which it isn&#039;t). That &#039;translucent&#039; look is never seen on real ivory, but is typical for faux. It is the same on my doll&#039;s hair set and on mos&#039; handle, both celluloid.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]183875[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/upload_2019-6-6_21-39-0-jpeg.183756/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/z-jpg.183794/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In real ivory those lines look more &#039;solid&#039;, for lack of a better word, and no plastic sheen:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]183876[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]183877[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
