<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 873284, member: 649&quot;]It was advertised as “vintage” and “bone” (and seller&#039;s photos were poor) but I see cross-hatching (Schreger?) lines on the forehead area. Upon inspection under a loupe, the angles of these lines appear to be less than 90 degrees. I’d love to get some opinions on whether it is bone or the dreaded “I” word. And if it is “I”, whether it is elephant “I” or fossil/mammoth “I”. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Age and origin info is appreciated, too. I haven&#039;t been able to find anything about the mark... a K in a circular CS?</p><p>Unfortunately, these are the best photos I can get as I only have an old camera phone. Including the setting, but not the bail, it’s about the size of a US quarter.</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>EDIT: It <i>does </i>glow under black light.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]198513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198516[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
