Featured Maybe Inuit? Miniature Ivory

Hi All,
these were in a bag, I can tell ivory on the elephant and Buddha, the others I'm not sure. The green piece is not ivory
do you think the bear, seal, walrus and baby seal piece are Inuit?
any information appreciated
thanks for looking


#1 is marked ivory, but I'm not seeing any lines on the pieces, they are polished to a high gloss (don't know if that makes a difference or not). I thought the base piece would be antler















#2 polar bear and walrus, no lines on them, looking at them underneath, it looks kind of yellow and spongy (if that makes sense) - would this be ivory?
also, the seal looks to be signed on the base, I can't make any letters out




#3 the seal has the same yellow/spongy underneath at the polar bear and walrus, but I think I can see lines on it, very hard to say for sure.

 

Walrus ivory.... no lines.

 

The spongy base is walrus ivory, so the walrus is definitely walrus ivory; the smaller seal does look Inuit, and ivory; the scrimshawed seal looks Inuit, and has a walrus ivory base; not sure what kind of ivory, as only the core of walrus ivory has that appearance, sometimes described as "oatmeal-like." I can't see the bear very clearly, but if you see that oatmeal-like appearance, it is walrus ivory.
I've found that smaller Inuit ivory pieces often don't show any hint of Schreger lines; but with experience, they are pretty easy to ID.

 

thank-you all_fakes, that is great information

 

I can only add that the walrus ivory works are more than likely American Eskimo from Alaska.
The green....likely jade !

 

thank-you komokwa
from what I can find, walrus ivory is legal to trade/sell in Canada, will need paperwork if I want to ship outside the country.

 

forget paperwork...none of it's that old.....

 

Very informative!

 

In the US, natives may make handicrafts from walrus ivory; and they and non-natives may possess and sell such handicrafts, regardless of age - but of course, one needs the paperwork showing who made the item, unless it is signed by someone who can be proven to be native.
Unsigned items without any paperwork can be problematic in many cases.
