No IP you did not make the dick list, it was bigwull that came across as a bit of a tool.  I think he just needs to pick up his purse apply some fresh makeup and boom, a whole new day.  Its all good though, ty to all for the help.

A matter of opinion, maybe.  I would say that not seeing one in 38 years of life would most certainly make it unique, as nobody i have ever associated with has owned one either.  Now arrogance and ignorance are definately a matter of opinion and seem to be more common then originally anticipated.

not quite sure what "ornaments" in quotations signifies but at the very least i have a couple unique items for my mantle and hopefully due to the age they do have on them, they may someday have some value for what they are.

i am just skeptical due to pin test results, no melting etc, also weight.  They sound very dense when tapped together the one actually has a small chip out of the bottom corner.  Who could i take this to to have it verified? i am in southern ontario.  I am not going to talk myself into these being real, i am just ruling out possibilities. ty for your help with this.

Hey all, I went hunting at the garage sales this weekend and bought these. I bought from a woman in her 50's and she grew up in a funeral home and said that these had been in the family since she can remember as a child. They are very very heavy. I am wondering if they are ivory? I have my doubts as i have read a bit but i am not in the position to make that decision. I do know one thing, either way they are old, heavy and intricate and ivory or not i am hoping it counts for something. Please chime in and let me know. i have close up pics etc that i can post or email, if you can help. Take care all
