Ask if you can borrow a bucket of old ivories and = just match=20 them the best you can to the piano. Sometimes you may have to file = the edges=20 of the ivory a little to fit the key. I definately recommend removing = the=20 old glue from the key and ivory before gluing the replacement one on. = I=20 don't know if keytop dimensions are on-file for 100 year old pianos = and I=20 suggest that trying to find the "correct" ivories that way won't get = you very=20 far.
