<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4263305, member: 5833&quot;]You should always look very carefully at any new acquisition because you never know.&nbsp; Some signatures only show up if the cameo is held just so to the light, so tilt it this way &amp; that.&nbsp; Many very beautiful cameos are unsigned; some mediocre ones are signed. Most are not signed at all.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>She can safely be soaked in tepid water with a little dish washing liquid.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell at all from the photo what the white is, so don&#039;t know if soaking will affect it.&nbsp; If it softens it up, maybe it can be scraped off with a fingernail?&nbsp; If it is unaffected, think you&#039;ll have to live with it.&nbsp; It does not look to me like scrubbing with a soft toothbrush would do any good.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many sellers with pieces like yours will not describe them correctly but I turned up a good number on eBay using &#039;shell cameo 1930s&#039; to search in the jewelry category.&nbsp; I would try it again substituting 1920s for 30s.&nbsp; Be sure to look at sold listings as well as current ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
