Marketing 101:-
if we make something desirable, the price will increase nothing is as desirable as that which is socially unacceptable, even though that desirability may be found in only a segment of a population |

Or just decreased in the UK unless clearly pre. 1947... Id guess clearly pre. 1947 as you say will become more valuable! Who wants a collection of stuff that brings police through your front door? Only those who are fools or think {or actually may be.} above the law. spiral Last edited by spiral; 11th November 2014 at 08:21 AM. |

California calling? Further ivory & Rhino horn laws proposed in the sunshine state.
It seems Californian legislature may be further tightening up their ivory laws, as they believe 90% percent of antiques for sale our modern fakes. "The bill introduced Wednesday by Assembly Speaker Toni G. Atkins and Senator Ricardo Lara does away with that exemption and prohibits “purchasing, selling, offering for sale, possessing with intent to sell, or importing with intent to sell elephant ivory or rhinoceros horn, except as specified under very limited educational and scientific circumstances.” "Antiques containing 5 percent ivory or less and antique musical instruments containing 20 percent ivory or less -- usually vintage pianos -- will also be exempt. Personally As I've said before I see 1947 as a good cut of year myself & more or less provable if necessary. |
