I AM HOPING SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS VERY INTERESTING IVORY ITEM, IT MEASURES 24.9 CM LONG AND IS 2.2CM WIDE. I HAVE A FEELING IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BOER WAR. IT HAS THE NAME R.L.Y SICK FUND 1894 WRITTEN AT THE TOP. THEN QUEENSTOWN, TARKASTAD RLY 1899. PORT ELIZABETH 1901, CAPE TOWN 1904 I CANNOT READ THE FADED WRITING AFTER THAT BUT THE DATE OF 1908 IS QUITE CLEAR, THEN FURTHER DOWN YOU CAN JUST READ ALIWAL NORTH FEB 1914. EACH ENTRY HAS A LINE DRAWN AFTER IT. IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT THIS IS SOME SORT OF RECORD OF TIMES AND PLACES DURING THAT PERIOD. I DO KNOW. THAT ABOUT THAT TIME IN THE AREAS MENTIONED A SICK FUND WAS STARTED BUT IT RAN OUT OF FUNDS. THERE IS SOME WRITING ON THE REVERSE SIDE BUT I AM AFRAID THAT I CANNOT READ IT

I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT RLY STOOD FOR RAILWAY SICK FUND. THE RAILWAY THAT WAS BEING BUILT AT THAT TIME REACHED THE TRANSVAAL IN 1895..
