In 1920, a major breakthrough occurred in the development of plastic materials. A German chemist, Hermann Staudinger, hypothesized that plastics were made up of very large molecules held together by strong chemical bonds. This spurred an increase in research in the field of plastics. Many new plastic products were designed during the 1920s and 1930s, including nylon, methyl methacrylate, also known as Lucite or Plexiglas, and polytetrafluoroethylene, which was marketed as Teflon in 1950.

It might be celluloid, which was used in place of ivory, it's hard to tell, but it has been dated to 1920's.
