<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 512876, member: 738"]I can't speak for other countries but it is illegal to sell ivory in the US without going through a very rigorous process of documenting provenance, paperwork and permitting. I was told by an auction house employee that some of the well-known houses will not sell pianos or even silver tea sets with ivory insulator rings anymore, because of the restrictions. I do see folks pulling it off occasionally by advertising things as "bone". Be cautious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
