The hot pin test on ivory is a method used to distinguish genuine ivory from substitutes like plastic or bone. In this test, a heated pin is applied to the surface of the material; genuine ivory will not melt or produce fumes, while synthetic materials may soften, emit odors, or show signs of damage. This test is quick and effective but should be conducted with caution to avoid damaging the item. It's important to note that this test is often used in combination with other methods for accurate identification.

How can you authenticate ivory?
One way is with a hot pin, this will tell you if it is plastic. A pin hot enough to burn pushed on a discrete place of an item in question when applied will soon tell you if it's plastic from the smell of the smoke. This will not differentiate it from bone. This can be done as ivory has a distinct very fine grain (as with woods). Bone however does not and often has small holes left where blood vessels were, whereas ivory has no blood vessels through it. It can still be difficult where niether of these distinctions are apparent and is difficult to demonstrate without pictorial examples to show.

The hot pin test can help you determine the difference between plastic, synthetic, bone and ivory. Its best to perform this test on the bottom of the object that is not visible as it may cause damage to plastic objects. Heat a needle until it is extremely hot than touch the needle against the object you are testing. A hot needle can not penetrate real ivory like it will a plastic or resin.
