[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 13083824, member: 360"]Absolutely definitely ivory. I reckon it may be a walking-stick handle. Rings, staples, hooks etc, on walking-stick shafts / collars were definitely a thing, and they were used to pass a lanyard through, so that you could hang your stick from your arm / wrist when needing both hands free. Could also be for something else long (brolly / parasol). We may never know 100% for sure. It already has a threaded rod on it - you could turn it back into a walking stick![/QUOTE]
