[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 4469993, member: 147"]I was trolling eBoo last week and came across this cameo (seller's photos): [ATTACH=full]386839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386840[/ATTACH] The poor thing looked filthy. On the back the whitish areas on the left looked like Byne's disease. It looked to date to mid to late 20th century which I would normally pass by. But I felt so sad at seeing this poor thing, and the price was not too bad, so I bought it. I got it today, yes there is Byne's disease on the back and some on the front though you can't see it in the photo because of the filth :( Here is a photo after the first round of cleaning. I still have more to go but she looks much, much better: [ATTACH=full]386841[/ATTACH] Another thing I noticed, though the seller hinted the mount is gold filled, it looked better than that to me. Just tested it and it is holding at 14K after over 20 minutes :) So my wanting to rescue her will pay off very nicely![/QUOTE]
