The thickness varies from piece to piece. And also from one end to the other.

Thinner long pieces on the left;
Length=3-7/8" Width=1/2' Thickness= varies from .025" to .035"

Short wider pieces in the middle;
Length=1-3/4" Width=3/4" Thickness= .032" to .043"

I will take better pictures tomorrow.

The pieces are all pencil numbered from left to right.
Most still have the cloth backer and some have some wood on the back.

All of the fine measurements were taken with calipers and do not include the cloth or wood.

It appears that all sales of ivory of any kind will soon be banned.

These key laminates are no longer available.

If a Mod reads this- Please delete the whole thread.

Thanks
