Elk Ivory

[archangel485]

I have a collection of elk ivory that I'd like to get some idea of value and possibly sell. There are 11 pairs. Does anyone know where I should start? One tooth does have a plier mark in it unfortunately.

No idea, but you may ask a jeweler who does rings, ear rings and etc using Elk ivory. I think there should be plenty in Wyoming. Just a thought and good luck.

$10-15 per tooth full retail if they're clean, depending on size/color character etc... I'd pay $5 each and have to cut/polish shape for silver/gold work. They stink to high hell to cut, but make awesome jewelry
