<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slykitty65, post: 423901, member: 7985&quot;]I did see the photo of that one</p><p><br /></p><p>I did see the photo posted of the similar one to that, but I had also read about how they have been making ones of ivory dust and gluing together other animal bone to recreate vintage (fake) looking ones. This article gives information on how to ID the Ivory from resin and other bones. They tell about the Black Light Test, which my curiosity led me to test it out on 3 little Budah&#039;s I picked up which I assume were resin and owner wasn&#039;t sure. They look smooth like resin, but had lines on the bottoms base but not crosshatched as in the Schreger Angle lines looking more like the website&#039;s photo of the resin cast bottom. These are my little Budah&#039;s under Black Light... Florecence is blue/white/tan which I assume is resin. Strange, I could see a number mark on the bottom of one under the black light that I could not see in normal light.
