<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4252620, member: 5833&quot;]I don&#039;t think ponytails were a fashion look prior to the late 50s, &amp; she can&#039;t be any older than her hairstyle.&nbsp; The cameo itself is still being produced, judging by the number of them on the market, but the way yours is mounted says she is from the earlier end of the range.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm.&nbsp; Looks like ink, which is a real problem when it is on shell.&nbsp; But this is plastic, so could survive more aggressive cleaning.&nbsp; I think the first thing I would try is toothpaste rubbed in vigorously with your thumb.&nbsp; If you have a whitening one all the better.&nbsp; Take care when rinsing off not to let water run into the setting &amp; do not submerse.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that fails, look around &amp; see what you have for removing heavy dirt &amp; stains.&nbsp; It would be really hard to hurt the cameo; the mount needs more careful treatment.&nbsp; I would actually try something like Fantastik, applied with a swab, again with vigorous rubbing using the swab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just try to keep the cleaning localized &amp; be careful about getting water into the setting.&nbsp; Other than that, you can try almost anything.&nbsp; Perhaps not things like Scrubbing Bubbles.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you succeed, let us know how.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
