In order to tell from a pic. you should try different light. It just looks white. Really bright LED light helps sometimes. Or a powerful blacklight. Usually ivory will have a cross hatched type of look to it from being cut round and vertical grain with slight color variations resulting in an almost swirl shape/pattern.
Ok thanks. The reason I asked is because I'm looking to sell this cue but I'm from north of the border. If it turns out to be Ivory then I have no choice but to wait until things open up and go to pool events or there maybe other ways of shipping that I do not know about.Real tough to tell from your pic
Bill would use IV if ordered by a customer, however, the vast majority of his cues did not have IV butt caps
