I think ivory is a beautiful commodity and wanted to know if there were still legal methods of obtaining large amounts of ivory.

Get antique ivory. Elephants shouldn't die just because we think their tusks would be really cool to have.

I think that ivory from before 1947 is legal to buy. It's expensive but legal.

Ivory from walrus before 1972 is, as well. Again, antique stores, pawn shops, and goodwills are going to be your ONLY legal avenues here.

Damn. I was sure no one was going to think of this.

(It's a legit answer, btw).

No piano made since the mid 70s has had ivory keys.

Yes but there were countless ivory-keyed pianos made before then, and pianos are not often thrown away or scrapped for parts.

I mean, the suggestion is a little bit tongue-in-cheek because a grand piano costs more than a car. But it's a perfectly legal way to buy a bunch of ivory, provided you have the money. Ivory keys aren't the easiest thing to find, but it can be done if you don't mind waiting a month or two.

Or you could wait for global warming to thaw the permafrost and score some sweet mammoth tusks.

(Seriously... no joke)
