The people who put items out at those stores often do not know if they have something nice.

I even have a magnifying glass (just like my favorite sleuth William Murdock ;) ), so I used it and discovered what looks like a nerve hole on the giraffe's neck! So I am leaning towards them in fact being ivory.

My first thought was also some type of resin, but not sure. They're really interesting and a great bargain at $1.99.Betsy@My Salvaged Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120247339822621125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989125660737793732.post-27883763573598320142013-04-22T08:50:27.903-05:002013-04-22T08:50:27.903-05:00My first thought was resin figurines.My first thought was resin figurines.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989125660737793732.post-38236009473877909602013-04-22T08:07:28.923-05:002013-04-22T08:07:28.923-05:00I have a black elephant just like your white one. ...I have a black elephant just like your white one. It was my father's when he was a child. It used to have two ivory tusks. At some point when he played with it, it lost one. At some point when I was a child playing with it, it lost the other. Does yours look like it has two holes for tusks? I am not certain of the composition of them.<br />Smiles,<br />JoeyLeaLady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.com
