<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3684303, member: 18191"]I was prompted to add this thread as a means of clarification and current legislation regarding Ivory. There's been a lot of conflicting news & advice about vintage & antique Ivory here in England, in terms of what you are allowed to own, sell and purchase. I also recall Ruby Lane (USA) completely banning all Ivory items being listed. Further rumours suggested that eBay would follow suit and a lot of worry amongst collectors that even Antique examples could be confiscated by law enforcement including museum items which of course would be totally insane! </p><p><br /></p><p>The following 2 links give current advice for both USA and UK</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/the-ivory-ban-and-antiques-149082#:~:text=In%202016%2C%20the%20sale%20of%20African%20elephant%20ivory,nor%20is%20passing%20it%20on%20to%20your%20heirs." target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/the-ivory-ban-and-antiques-149082#:~:text=In%202016%2C%20the%20sale%20of%20African%20elephant%20ivory,nor%20is%20passing%20it%20on%20to%20your%20heirs." rel="nofollow">How Will the Ivory Ban Impact Antiques You Own?
