While we're on the subject of ivory, does anyone have an idea what an ivory piano key is worth and is there any interest in them?

far as i know, the old ones are elephant ivory.. so not worth much, because there is no secondary trade in them... sure they carve like a dream tho.

To DKanger--I have about a dozen broken piano keys, ivory, that might make small pendants and will hold on to them. I can't remember where I got them, as they might have been for free, or just a couple dollars. These would only be good inlays, and some have a yellowish grain to them. With the present ivory scare out there, you may get them free gratis, or someone might want a ransom for them. I have no idea of the value, but I wouldn't mind having some more just to have around.
