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
