    I wish to sell an inherited carved elephant tusk
    I inherited from my father 34 years ago a single elephant tusk that is 60cm long. My children don't want it and it does not fit in with our house décor. Can anybody recommend a trading house that would be willing to purchase such an item. Thanks Gary

    Not sure where you are located but it is illegal to sell an ivory tusk in the USA

    Sadly ivory has become illegal to trade or sell in many places. Without knowing your general location there's really no way to advise you what to do.

    The good news is that if you can find a place to sell it, you should get a very good price for it, since it is now a rare item.
