[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 1835823, member: 4864"]Been a while since I've been on here, unfortunately. Haven't had much luck antiquing lately and have been struggling with some depression. Hope everyone is doing well. I have a couple new cameos to share. One is in what I believe is a jet frame. I looked at it under a loupe and it does not appear to be ivory; no striations. I am almost inclined to think it is plastic of some kind, but it has a Victorian style C-clasp and bar hinge.
