Oh my Winnie, what is it?

Blue lady

Hay Galen, maybe I've been on the slope to long, haven't seen the sun in weeks. I could be in dire need of some sun, a cold beer and somebody to talk to. Lol

Lol, Galen Top picture is of one end of the screw and second pic is the other end. It does go all the way around. It's all the same mixed colors.

Anyone ever see a cork like this? If so please tell me about this one. Thanks Bud

Lol, easy fix!

Lol, ya it kinda reminds me of my first wife,,, a little rough looking but lots of character! And if I want her to know I said that I'll tell her myself

Hope I'm not the only person that likes ugly marbles!

Hi Steph The crease goes most of the way around. Here is a forth picture of the other side with a beat up brick. I picked them up together.

It is egg shaped and 7/8" at the widest. Looks like double ingot to me. Transparent amber with oxblood. Thanks in advance Bud

Ernie Those are very cool! Most of the petrified ivory I've seen in Alaska has been Wooly Mammoth tusk, it's darker in color. Yours looks like female walrus tusk. It's denser then the male tusks and lighter in color. The natives make some beautiful jewelry with both. Thanks for the pics and please accept my apology for misspelling your name, auto correct strikes again. Bud

Hi Erie Nice to meet you! Did the hot needle test, it's not plastic. I'm sure it's ivory. Excited to see your pictures! Bud

I sent an email and pics out to a good friend in Alaska. He is very knowledgeable about things made from old and new ivory. He says they look to be old walrus tusk by the aged color and grain. I will take it with me when I go back to work and report back. He collects artifacts from the days of the whaling ships.

Hi Galen Any idea as to the value?

Thanks for the info on this one! I spend a lot of time on the Boufort sea coast and get to see a lot of ivory art and crafts. This marble looks to be made from ivory and not glass, it's also a little lighter in weight then glass. And the color is right on for ivory. Do yours have the same traits?

Ok, thank you!

Any ideas on this? It's a tad over 5/8", looks like ivory and the numbers are scratched in like scrimshaw. Thanks for any leads Bud

Galen That's interesting, I would have thought the colors crossing from one side to the other would have been in the rolling process. Now I have to have some!

11/16" ugly and cool at the same time. Just got it.

This is a great thread! My brain is full now!

Thanks! Can't wait to get home and see if I have any so I can see what the glass is doing.

Never mind I see now. Feeling a bit uneducated.

If I may? Why are they called flip flops?

Thanksgiving has come and gone but I just can't help post this picture of a Akro cork turkey head. I know I know, No Akro turkeys but guess what,, I have one! Hehe. Happy holidays to all!

Very nice Jerry, thanks and happy thanksgiving to all!
