<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 188563, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; Here is one of my last pieces of ivory. It is a cribbage board counter fitted into a glass topped box. The knob on the end unscrews and holds the pins for counting. The box was covered with snake skin which is really mostly lost. I bought a new skin to recover it but no time yet to do it. The other pieces of ivory I have are my great grandmothers hair combs and a lot of small sewing things, like thimbles and lace making pieces. They are &quot;jailed&quot; waiting for me to die so they can be left to family members. I am glad that I sold the big pieces years ago. Should have held onto them could have tripled the price. My favorite was a puzzle ball 6&quot; in diameter with 10 balls inside. Just thinking of how many hours were spent on carving that thing staggers me.</p><p>greg[ATTACH=full]53119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]53120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]53121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]53122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]53123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]53124[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
