I have recently inherited what appears to be three Ivory carvings - elephant Bridges.

These were given to my Uncle as a gift in Africa in the 1970s when he was working as a Comboni Missionary

I am looking to find out as much about these pieces as possible - apologies I am definitley an amateur when it comes to these things.

i suppose questions I have are:

Is it Ivory?

How. To know what year it's from?

Are they of any value?

i can upload more detailed pictures if necessary.

Michael Jackson 1989, is in very good condition the article talks about his last tour.

Nelson Mandela 1990, is in very good condition , the article talks about a message to black men in ' America.

The wrinkles you see are from the plastic wrap the covers are in near perfect condition.

Piece of fabric, unknown origin bought at an estate sale.  The gold thread is so brillant and frequent it is hard to see in photo.  Given, I am not the best photographer.  It is cobolt blue with gold lettering or symbols.

This appears to be a pastel on "artist board", I found it behind a lithograph of Van Goughs Sunflowers.  I have had this piece of art for about 25 to 30 years.  Unable to decipher the signature.  Measures 18" x 22".

If there is any value in this picture, I would like to know.

Small (11/12 of an inch) metal Mickey Mouse pendant/charm (small loop at top)   "Bronze" color back with "c WD" on back.  Arms and legs are the "bronze" color but Mickey and clothes are enamel.  I couldn't find anything comparable to it on the net in my searches and was wondering about it.  I purchased it at an estate sale.
