Help Help:Magic marker on real ivory

[Ted Simmons]

Hi Bob,
  Try hair spray.  I read an article about how hair spray will remove
intellible ink from vinyl furniture.  I've use it to success on some
pianos but it didn't work on others.  I think it depends on what type of
marker was used.  Anyhow, it's worth a try.
