Charll, I bought Kim & Jim a few bakelite bottles I found in Toronto, CDN$20-40 each, but they were copying ivory.
I used to have a coral snuff bottle with a boy riding a carp in coral, probably ca. 1880-1930, which I bought in 1972 at Waddington's Auctions in Toronto (where Steven got his Zhou Leyuan recently, I believe); I got it for CDN$80 or 90.
