<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vern, post: 32400, member: 347&quot;]Another note on the cleaning/polishing....&nbsp; The buildup of dust, tarnish, and paint was only about 40 years old or younger. The wheel was being used by patrons until the late eighties or early nineties. There it would have also been kept dusted and polished by housekeeping.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just something to think about. It wasn&#039;t a 100 year old ancient tarnish.&nbsp; The decision was made to restore it as close to original as possible and preserve it.&nbsp; Not only was it less interesting in its found form because you could not see that it was handmade or engraved, but it was much less pleasing to the eye. In its intended form it is kind of stunning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
