Testing for Ivory
A quick, easy way to ascertain if a grip is ivory: Heat a pin or needle tip red hot. Poke the grip with the hot tip, in an out-of-the-way place where the tiny mark will not be an issue. If the grip material melts, it's plastic or Franzite, or maybe even urethane. If it does not melt, and perhaps smells like burning hair, it's the real deal--ivory.
