Impossible to say from pictures. For Ivory you need to put it under magnification to see the geometry of the grain to tell the animal. Most vintage razors were elephant however there's also Narwhale, Walrus,Mammouth. Also fossilized Elk (they actually had Ivory tusks and modern elk have Ivory rear molars)

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
