To be auctioned...

From what I see in the link, that piece would be legal to buy/sell in the U.K. and, most likely, in the U.S. as well if there is documented proof of it's age and authenticity.

The object is certainly illicit. The ivory is probably OK.

Actually, you're closer than you thought. My source:

Anyone looking for a piece of ivory? - AzBilliards.com

By the way, if anybody reads the comments on the above thread, "squirt" is a term used in pool to describe cue ball deflection when English is applied..the amount the cue ball moves off a straight line after the hit.
