There is a "de minimus" regulation of the USFWS that allows interstate commerce in elephant ivory if it entered the country prior to 1990, not sport harvested, and if it is less than 200 gm. in weight.
I Inherited from an ancestor who was employed as a piano builder in Chicago circa 1900 several ivory key tops never installed on a keyboard. If anybody needs any, we probably could come to an understanding.
Each piece is about as thick as a dime, so yes, they are wafer thin, probably perfect for artistic inlay. But if a fellow could glue a few atop eachother, you could probably approximate any original sight bead or profile you wanted.
