Lol yip I know that, The elphants are quite heavy, wondering if they might be ivory.

The pics are a little small, but I suppose they could be. That would make them worth quite a bit eh?

[JPBon]

I think so, thats what I am worried about, dont want to list them incorrectly.

JP, just check the ivory thing with Cuan. I know that certain ivory is allowed to be sold (those items manufactured before a certain date) but modern ivory (I think) is a non-no. Someone who really could help you with these items is geewhizz!

All these items are kitch novelties except the elephants.
Ivory has a grain like lines running threw it and they are normally not exactly straight lines--straight but curve now and again. Bone will be smooth.
They would not have used imitation ivory for these elephants so if there is a grain it is most likely ivory.
I have some fish knives and forks listed and if you look at the picture of the handles I have up that is what ivory looks like.
I think these handles are ivory but they did immitate it on cutlery with bakelite so I never like to commit myself where cutlery is concerned.

Plate is limoge. The second doll is not complete. He would have had a sailors hat with one of the union Castle shipping lines name on the hat i.e Edinburgh Casle, Windsor Castle etc. A great majority of these were made by Nora Wellings and are very collectable. I dont recognize the other doll. Tin is self explanatary

Ok if I look under the elephants feet there are lines running, however very few lines on the actual elephants

Take a close up photo.
Make sure the lines you describe are not carved on the ivory. The lines run in the ivory. Compare them to the picture on my listing
