Question
Hi Ralph,
This is a garage sale find. The woman said it was tusk ,but from looking at one of your previous answers, I don't believe so. I tried to find some information on the internet and ran across ALLEXPERTS. I know you need to see a picture so I will attatch to another email. Thanks for your time!

Answer
Hi Jim,

Yes, I will need photographs.  When you take the photos, please include a ruler or something for the purpose of scale.  Also the closer the better on the ends of the object.

I look forward to seeing them.

You can also send them to me at rsalier@hotmail.com  Subject: tusk.
