Can you tell real Ivory when you see it?
I have some Netsuke Figurines, that I think are made of Ivory, but recently some people have told me that they think they are just Plastic. Do you know how to tell the difference? Respond to my add and I can email you a picture of them and maybe that can help. I was interested in selling my figurines, but I dont know what they are worth. Can you help me out with this?
Hi. According to this article: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Do-You-Tell-Fake-Ivory-From-Real&id=1025288, it can be hard to tell the difference from looking. But the article describes what sounds like a simple "hot needle" test that you can do to determine if it is plastic (or resin) or real ivory.
If they do test as real ivory, I'm afraid I have no idea what they are worth. Maybe you can find some similar ones on sale online? I've also heard people mention this site where you pay a small fee and supposedly an expert tells you what your item is worth: http://www.wiw2u.com/. But I don't know how reputable they are.
Good luck to you.
