The seller doesn't claim it is cocobolo. Here is the actual description form the auction. Read it carefully: "Beautifoul Koko Bolo six tring Alembic" So, it has something to do with a smelly clown from Max Fleischer 30's cartoons and 6 trings, which I believe are from middle earth - "The Lord of the Trings"!

Bilko Braggins, unforgettably played by Phil Silvers.
