I wonder what the benefit of ivory was?  Not, obviously, strength (note, though, that I've seen plenty of broken boxwood rules).  Stability?  Ease of reading?  Or just bragging rights?

Before I go nuts trying to break it free, figure I should probably find out what the H## it is.

Out of all of them I own, I don't have any ivory ones.  Probably my luck if I ever find 1 in the wild that it would be broken too.  No matter- it's still a great find.
