<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2532153, member: 36"]Bone you can sell on line. It can be sold on Ebay as long as you specify which animal it came from. (they'll take down cow bone, but not bovine bone for instance.) Ivory is best sold locally, in person. It's on the Vorboten list on Eboo.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think your pikake flower pin and Edelwiess stuff are ivory because I've seen them before. The rest? No idea. Ivory often feels soapy and has the cross-hatched lines in the material. Bone will have "bone channels", where the blood vessels were, on the back and in larger pieces. Once you've seen them a few times there's no mistaking it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
