I started creating displays using authentic woolly mammoth hair and tusk - similar to the one I have running on eBid at this time. For a number of years I always had one of these displays running on eBay and never had any problems with the listing. However, I always used the term "tusk" and never used the term "ivory." Also, while I have never had or sold any, there is a lot of scrimshaw listed on eBay. While most is from teeth, there is no question but what some of the vintage jewelry is elephant tusk.

No offence taken. What passes for humour is very different on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Or 'humor', even.
I recall a company vice president in Florida asking me "Hey John, do they use dollars in London?", which initially I took to be a joke, but later I discovered he was about to make his first trip abroad!

Been there, done that. However UK is nothing like as bad as Germany. My German partner has even gotten insulted at a things I intended as tongue in cheek or jokes.
