    Default Bone or Ivory?

    Hi All,
    I am a dentist and I was talking to a patient and somehow got onto the subject of straight razors. When I told him I collected old straight razors he subsequently brought me three old razors he had stashed away. One of them turned out to be a Wade and Butcher pre-1890 and in fairly good condition.
    In any case, my question is one which I am sure has been asked many times: how can I tell if the scales are bone or ivory? I know they are not plastic because I heated a pin a placed it on the inside section of the scales and it had no effect.
    Thanks for your help,
    Ira
