Description :	A cream coloured shoe horn. The shoe horn is stained and dirty. There is a 2 cm crack near the bottom. On the handle it reads: FRENCH IVORY.
Fonctions :	French ivory became fashionable after celluliod'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.BR> 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.
