Ivory Diversity and Price Across Ivory Types Across 19th Century Trade
The United States general appraisers ruled hippopotamus ivory usable for duties at the same 35 percent rate as elephant ivory, noting hippo tusks and other animals such as narwhal and right whale produce ivory. Hippo teeth weigh half a pound to four pounds, narwhal tusks five to twenty five pounds, and hippo ivory can be worked into small items worth cents per piece. Ancient beliefs inflated narwhal value in the past, but today tusks fetch about 75 dollars for large specimens.
