If I recall correctly, I paid under $1 for it. Now that I have it apart, I'm doing some clean up on the setting. Most appears to be plate on copper, so I'm poking at the green bits, but nothing too drastic. Beyond getting the expired glue off the glass, pretty much leaving that part alone. May give it a new piece of paper backing -- what do you think? I can't think I'm changing the value much. (old paper still available if changing is a bad idea)[/QUOTE]
