<p>[QUOTE="LLace, post: 66724, member: 627"]Thanks for the pics. It looks as though the piece has been molded. Ivory would be carved as far as I know. It could be made from ivorine which is basically celluloid which was used as a replacement for Ivory. Try sticking a hot pin in it somewhere inconspicuous. If it's man made you should smell it, like camphor. Whatever it is it's a nice object. Use it for dinner parties to hold toothpicks!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
