<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9868607, member: 4654"]It could be bone or dirt on ivory, I don't think it really matters in this circumstances, older boxes will use natural material whereas later boxes will use plastic and in this case it''s clearly natural material. There is only one way of really telling and that's using a hot pin, if you can do it where it''s not going to show then it's ok but if it's plastic it will leave a sunken black mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
