[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 170175, member: 78"]Hi Vee, I will answer. The hot pin test will leave a mark on the item. Some celluloid will burst into flames and leave nasty burn marks. After six or seven people have used the hot pin mark, the item has been considered damaged. I have seen several items ruined by the hot pin mark. That is why we consider the hot pin test bad. If you can not tell visually if ivory or not consider using someone else. As far as most of us consider the hot pin test damaged goods, we do not like it. greg[/QUOTE]
