I saw a dealer on Antiques Roadshow determine if an object was ivory or plastic, seems very diffcult to tell in the collecting business, he scraped a tiny amount off the bottom and burned it. If it smells like oil & smokes its plastic. If it smells like burning hair then its ivory. Might want to try.
