    Without any identifying marks, it is not likely an identification can be made.

    Bone. Ivory would be thinner and have no washers on pins.

    MOST of the time no collars on pins. I have 1 or 2 ivory with collars. The main signs that I see are that they are thicker than ivory as bouschie said plus the pores that are visible ivory does not have.

    Definitely bone. The grain is clearly visible.
