anybody seen anything like this before ?

I think the test is to heat a pin with a match
then try to put the pin into the "ivory"
Do this in a spot that won't be seen if it goes in.
If it burns and goes in it is not ivory.

thank you , Ill try this .....

PD

The hot pin trick will only prove that its plastic...

You'll get the same result for Ivory with Bone, Whales Tooth or even Narwhal Horn/Tusk.
