Hear no evil .....
« on: February 11, 2017, 07:04:45 pm »
Hear is hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. On the bottom it says "MADE In ENGLAND". I'm not sue if it's ivory. Heavier than it looks. I have always like this. We had to move my mother in law to a nursing home. I have a job ahead of me. Not sure what to call it, or what it really is.

Always loved these  Hear No/See No/Speak No's! 

Can you please post a pic of the bottom (where it says made in England - carved or incised into it?) and a close up of any lines/striations.

Did you do the needle test in an inconspicuous place?

It is ivory. Nothing happened with the hot pin. So what does this mean now.

Neat that it's ivory, that SHOULD make it more valuable but ivory has laws attached to it now so  i dunno.
