New Ivory Key tops for sale

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Stacy,
                It's still against the law on our side of the border, it
would be confiscated at Customs,
I have just heard a story of a Bechstein that had Ivory remove by the
customs officials, and they made a complete mess of the whole keyboard.
Second hand imfo. 
To be sure check with Canada customs first.
Regards Roger
