Mr. Stiles very much disagrees with the prohibitionist approach.
Dear Lord, you sound like Rubio:) 100% of genuine ivory antiques are made with antique ivory. How does that perpetuate the slaughter? It's great to have a go-to line and some figures someone has foisted on you but LOOK (please) at a 18th or 19th century watercolor on ivory and tell me how they are the problem?
Distinguishing an early portrait from a recently made one is easy peasy.
Ashley, I have no love of ivory, just a love of art and material culture. People who buy and sell antique portraits on ivory and or antique sailor made scrimshaw are buying ANTIQUES. They have no desire to own something new. That's the point. Further, this has nothing to do with the success of my business. I simply want to preserve cultural artifacts and in a capitalistic society (unfortunately) valueless objects are destined for the dust bin.
I want to save the elephants and rhinos of TODAY.
It would seem that we will have to agree to disagree but I firmly believe that selling/owning/researching/valuing (monetarily and otherwise) objects such as this...

promotes the arts and furthers education without having a deleterious effect upon today's elephants.
Try telling that to the person whose valuable investment not longer has monetary value. There are plenty of poor legal precedents in this country.
