can anyone tell me the value of ivory?

Nice tusks. They are worth whatever you paid for them or what ever someone will pay you for them. Just like this one -

do not cut

if i had these i would not cut them, i believe they are worth more money as a display set, you can buy plenty of small pieces for cue building, but once these are cut all they are worth is the ivory weight. btw i have about 50 pieces of carved ivory on display at my jewelry store, the largest pieces are a pair of carved elephant tusk about 24 inches long, and a scrimshawed walrus tusk 25 inches long.

call david walther for current value
tusk are worth more if you cut into ferrules,joints etc
you will be surprised at the amount you get
 
they are worth more as display tusks...keep them uncut - please

it is very rare to find a set of matched tusks that size...

the value would be in the 10K+ range to a museum from my experience
 
Ivory sells by the pound.
Last I heard, it's over $100 a pound.
That's the best way to sell it.
Call Schick, Bender, Black, Tascarella, Barry, some one like that.
They will give you top dollar usually.

The stuff has to cure.

20 years or more is really required for quality results.
$120 a pound was low for old sizeable tusk sets and singles.
