When: Don't know/care

Banned: yes, old ivory still is banned.

New'er'  Ivory: yes, certificated 'pre-ban'

My choice for this work is Rick Grethe; Wells. Maine

HOWEVER, to repair a chip in ivory:
Richard Wagner's AcryliKey II

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask for it by name, because AcryliKey I  is still on the self and the
new product simplifies the color matching process (understatement).

Talk about finesse in matching color  . . .
A less-white, white and and a less-yellow, yellow
Oh, the possibilities . . .

Thirty minutes from scruff to buff    (Richard, how's that for a slogan?)
