This dates back to somewhere around 1920. Hand carved ivory cigarette holder. REALLY COOL ITEM!

Questions & Comments

people, she is not selling the ivory, she is giving it away for free. It is not illegal to own ivory in the US, nor is it illegal to give it away. It may be illegal to sell it and transport across state lines in certain states. And different rules apply to African and Asian Ivory. You need to check your state laws before bidding and get off this Listian. She is not breaking any Listian rule. And elephant girl, I'm sure you enjoy a nice chicken dinner that was slaughtered for you to eat, or maybe your shoes are leather, a slaughtered cow. Threatening another Listian, wishing death upon them is sick and mean!

I'd like to comment on this item. Folks, I got a nasty email from a Listian asking me how I could sell ivory knowing that elephants are being slaughtered, and telling me that she hopes I suffer the same fate. Please note that I would NEVER sell new ivory. This piece is about 100 years old and it is acceptable, legal and ethical to sell old items. My great aunt owned this and she was one of the biggest animal advocates I know!

If only I had enough credits! !!! I love this piece! !!! It's not just Ivory, it's history! !

Mar 10th, 2014 at 10:03:38 PM PDT by

Truth is.........even new ivory, gained by poachers with no moral values, paid be $$$ mongering lower life's......is sadly very detaingly carved by very poor master carvers, who get paid a pittance for their work. To purchase and own such an item is an everlasting tribute to the animal that suffered and the innocent artisan that carved it into a remembrance piece of beauty,
The Doctor has spoken his mind!

Ok, Folks! I DID two tests to this. First, I got the opinion of a jeweler who deals in antiques. She said it is ivory. Next I did the test that Dmy50 above suggested. I heated it up and there was absolutely NO smell. This is DEFINATELY ivory and not bakelite. I hope this helps everyone!!! Thanks and THANK YOU for your support!

Mar 10th, 2014 at 6:47:01 AM PDT by

me again ,,looked online a few simple tests to see if its bakelite ,,rub it til it feels hot ,,if you smell a nasty smell ,,its bakelite ,,plz try this and let us know ,,,thnx

Mar 9th, 2014 at 10:01:59 PM PDT by

I cant believe u got nasty email about this--wish it was posted so I could block that member--I love all animals but I still own leather purses and shoes..as I am sure that person does also--its not like u went out and got the ivory yourself---some people?????

Mar 7th, 2014 at 4:54:23 AM PST by

I didn't take it personally. Some people just have issues. When she said that she hoped I suffer the same fate I knew she has problems. I'll pray for her.

Mar 7th, 2014 at 6:27:43 AM PST by

awesome auction!!!!!!! please let us know if u get it checked out and determine it is ivory--watching and waiting and bidding at end

Mar 7th, 2014 at 4:50:53 AM PST by

It IS ivory. The jeweler said that bakelite would have melted.

Mar 7th, 2014 at 6:28:13 AM PST by

Nice piece! What is the carving of? Watching & fanned! Great auction!! Michael

Mar 7th, 2014 at 2:24:18 AM PST by

It has a fish in it, and the rest of the design looks like leaves or feathers. It's kind of hard to make out.
Thanks!

Mar 7th, 2014 at 6:31:44 AM PST by

Are you shore it is Ivory not Bakelite ?

Mar 5th, 2014 at 10:28:02 AM PST by

I'm pretty sure it's ivory. I'll have a jeweler check it to be sure. Thanks for mentioning that!
