Sale of all ivory products is banned, and so are you.

Rhino horn is not an ancient Chinese remedy - it originated in Vietnam in the past 20 years, and has no scientific evidence to back it up. You may as well chew your fingernails.
But this fad has brought rhinos to the point of extinction - they are not even safe in zoos.

The elephant ivory trade is equally repugnant, with many dealers selling poached ivory claiming it is legal.
At present, poaching is killing about 10% of elephants per year.
It this continues at a linear rate, elephants would be extinct in the wild in 10 years.

Sale of all ivory products is banned, .....

That's not quite true. The OP mentioned that the ivory is 20 years old. It's not illegal to buy or sell ivory which is old. I don't know what is considered "old" though. Whomever says its "old" must back up the claim with a written document. Recall that old pianos have ivory keys. You can't ban the sale of those pianos.

Personally I don't think that its repugnant as Evan does. I just hate to see a species hunted to the point where their numbers drop. To me it'd be like dear hunting for their horns or meat. Sometimes people come across an elephant which died of natural causes. I see nothing wrong with grabbing its tusks at that time. Its the rate of hunting that I find irritating.

You are right, I should have been more specific and said “the commercial import of all African Elephant ivory products is banned”. This has been the case in the US since July 6 2016.
The 20 year rule applies only to items already manufactured (in the UK this is back to 1947) which are already in the US and being sold within the US. You cannot commercially import ivory products no matter what their age. Some non-commercial import is allowed eg musical instruments and museum artifacts.
In the course of my hobby I do handle CITES products, mainly specialist woods certified from plantations or sustainable sources. If I have a need to replace a piece of ivory I will use an artificial product (usually resin based) or bone. I do have some ivory in the form of old knife and hair brush handles which are older than 1947, but if I cut them up to use they are automatically counted as new, so I can’t use them for restoration. I don’t have a problem with this or the fact that I can’t buy raw tusks, because the sale of ivory products was creating a demand that from 2000 was driving an increase in the number of elephants killed. Even the sale of poached or ‘found’ tusks meant ivory was available and driving demand. Many African countries are now burning poached and ‘found’ tusks to prevent them coming onto the market. The only solution appears to be to stop commercial import/export completely.

It is still legal to sell mastodon & mammoth tusks. These sometimes emerge from the permafrost in Siberia.
- It is likely that humans contributed to driving these to extinction. How much of a contribution is a matter of debate.

You need a microscope to tell the difference between the grain of elephant and mastodon ivory.
- Although on a complete tusk, the curve of the mastodon tusk would be a clear indicator.

Good point about the legallity of mastodon, I have been tempted to use some for inlays, but the thought of needing to take a microscope through customs isn’t one I would relish.
