[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 286689, member: 360"]This was part of a crumpy old box lot I bought. What I am showing here are BEFORE & AFTER photographs, of my attempts to press, roll and beat out the dents in the rim, and to polish off the tarnish and discolouration on the body. The hallmarks are London, 1856 :) [B]Here are the 'BEFORE' photos: Tarnished, bent, battered and grimy... [ATTACH=full]92420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92422[/ATTACH] Here are the 'AFTER' photos, after considerable hammering, pressing, rolling, and then - polishing: [ATTACH=full]92423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92425[/ATTACH] [/B] What do you guys think? I don't reckon it's half bad. I never expected to get it perfect, so I don't really care. My dad thinks I'm a bloody idiot for buying this thing...[/QUOTE]
