?selling ivory

[David Renaud]

   This was also the case for a local dealer sending
a 1920's Stienway, sold into the US.

   It was rejected at the boarder and returned to
the store. All the perfect Ivory was ripped off &
replaced with plastic. They did argue but...no way.

   I was surprised to hear a century old US
manufactured high end instrument would be rejected,
seeing that in a sence it was coming back home.

   Does this mean precious artifacts requested by
museums....say an ancient sword with Ivory inlay 
would be rejected....I always assumed there were
some exceptions for very old items in original 
condition, manufactured pre-ban.

                            Cheers
