[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 3088978, member: 147"]Picked up this cameo a week ago, it had Byne's Disease on the front and back but I thought she was so pretty I wanted to try and help her. Unfortunately I didn't take before photos because I dove right in to clean her using suggestions from Cameo Times. The only difficulty was finding the typewriter eraser, I finally had to order one from an ebay seller. I think the front came out very good. On the back at the top I did the best I could but you can see where it looked very nasty. Her setting is gold filled, no marks, looks early 20th century to me but I wonder if the cameo may be a bit older than the setting. She looks more finely carved than I expect to see for early 20th century, BWDIK :rolleyes: Is she a bacchante? I thought so because of the grapes and grape leaves in her hair. Also, is the signature our friend Schmoll (Silz)? Just one initial S I can see. [ATTACH=full]293100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]293101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]293102[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
