Fonctions :	French ivory became fashionable after celluloid's first appearance on the market in 1868. Companies were trying to produce a material that would become a greater substitute for ivory. Some of these materials have been shaped, coloured, and cracked to look like real ivory; some are so well done, a well trained eye is required to see the difference. See: Harris, Godfrey. _The Fascination of Ivory_. USA: Delta Lithograph Co., 1991. Donated by long time volunteer and Mississauga resident, John Hammil. Many of the artifacts donated belonged to either his family or that of his first wife Gertrude.
