When did they stop making Ivory pool balls?

Topic.

I have an old pool table from '64 that i'm lookin to sell, but i don't know if the balls would've been ivory.

Update:

Actually did the google search before posting this, and it was one of the reasons i was still so unsure, I searched for Ivory Pool Balls, which google may have pulled pics from "Ivory Pool Balls" "Pool Balls" and just plain balls...XD

But yeah, some of them looked similar, and i seen most of the ivory ones had begun cracking and showing signs of age, this is something mine have not done, so i was assuming that these were not ivory, but also given that i'm posting this to craigslist, did not want to potentially short myself of a few hundred bucks.

    Most production of ivory pool balls stopped about 100 years ago. There's almost no chance your balls are made of ivory. Do a google image search of ivory billiard balls and compare them to yours. It will become quite obvious that yours are not ivory.
