The ivory piece is approximately 1/2" x 4". Since these were fitted to pianos,
there is some variation in size. Descriptions below the photos indicate if
the bookmark is scrimshawed or pierced.
Each has a 4" satin ribbon attached to the top.

Piano key ivory guitar/mandolin picks

Made from ivory piano keys, these picks are all unique, but are about 1-1/4 x 7/8 inches. They are tapered near the tip to make them flexible where they need to be, but they are stiffer than the plastic "Indian" pick in the picture (placed there for scale). One side is the polished original top of the key; as shown in the picture, this often shows a woodlike grain.  The other side is smooth with a satin polish for good grip. They produce a distinctive mellow tone; I use one exclusively on my mandolin.

Ivory picks are $15 each; if you are ordering ONLY ivory picks, shipping is only $1 for as many as you want.  If you are ordering other items, they will be included free with the shipping.
