I think we have a new code (IVORY)

Michael Richter and I took off from our day jobs
today and went to an early bird antique fair held at
the South Florida Fair Grounds, and ran across a
dealer who had these ivories.

The chip looks like it would fall between IY-DK and
possibly IY-ED.

The piece measures a full 38mm (1-1/2").

I have 5-pieces available.

All of the pieces are free of any nicks, cracks or
fractures, and when candled, there are no inclusions
seen. A lot of the scrimshaw pigment has dislarged
in the last 100-years, though, but can always be
restored if so desired.

I'm asking $30 each prior to listing them on eBay,
should any one care to buy one. P&I included.
