mineral plastic and mammoth ivory you asked about

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Gordon,
    When you say ivory-ish,  I assume your client would like something as 
close to ivory as possible without the expense of real ivory. If this is so, 
I can offer 3 choices: first would be off-white mineral plastic with a 
textured finish, second would be an off-white European acrylic plastic with 
a textured finish, third would be the vagias simulated ivory keytop made of 
plastic. They no longer make the celluloid simulated ivory tops that were on 
keyboards about 50-60 years ago. Prices are: $975.00, $515.00, $340.00 
excluding shipping, bushings etc.. All three tops I offered you are separate 
tops and fronts and will resemble a new keyboard in the quality of their 
application. Hope this helps.    Mike
