<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4340218, member: 51"]Thank you, Cheryl. I am 100% clueless about lacquer on silver. Was that something people did to somehow preserve it, or would it have been original to the piece? This makes sense that there is something on top of the silver of these frames as they didn't easily polish. Plus would explain the slightly off color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now thinking these weren't such a deal at $5. There is no way to soak these if that's what is needed. The backs have an oval wooden support frame and I wouldn't want to soak that. It seems like just rubbing acetone might not be enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good to learn about this and the etching.
