<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 393015, member: 84&quot;]I found this at a local estate sale today (what a house - I also got a old leather firefighter helmet, a old box of fire extinguisher water grenades + a mint condition Singer 221 Featherweight sewing machine w/all the extras!) - it is a carved bone? or ivory? cane handle of a tiger chasing a man! </p><p>It is also inscribed JAN. 11th 890! - I believe it&#039;s suppose to be 1890, but there is no number 1 in front of the 890! lol</p><p>Any thoughts on origin? (I think &quot;oriental&quot; but Jan. is written in english)</p><p>Is age correct? Does the missing numeral hurt it&#039;s value?</p><p>Value?</p><p>Bone or ivory?</p><p>Can I call this a carved netsuke cane/walking stick handle?</p><p>As always, I appreciate any help.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136400[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136410[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
