<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 239235, member: 360&quot;]It&#039;s not ivory, I&#039;ve handled enough ivory to recognise it when I see it. It might be trying to simulate it, though. I don&#039;t believe it to be celluloid. The house identified it simply as &#039;resin&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>And in case you&#039;re wondering AF, they also estimated $100-$200. I paid (+premium) $60.00. And if that horrifies you - they came with a previous-seller tag on them which was $490.00 </p><p><br /></p><p>See what I mean when I say antiques in Australia are overpriced? </p><p><br /></p><p>Aquitaine, what you see there represents about 5 years&#039; worth of opera-glass/binocular/telescope collecting. I have sold a couple of pieces in that time, and I have other pieces there which I still want to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
