Now to me I think is a salt & pepper shaker. or a toothpick holder. What ever it might be used for, it is a ivory carved items. How do we find out what it might be? I have looking for your estates sales and recommended to friends by giving them your name/address and ifo on how to contact you. You have one of the BEST sale items and fun items for all of us. Keep up your great job. My husband and I are retired and sure would like to work again, but just don't know who would higher anyone in their 60's. It looks like a fun place to work. Regards, Phyllis Hi,
