<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sandra, post: 1360994, member: 3335&quot;]I have a different Shirley Dunn book, Celluloid Collectibles Identification and value guide and describes &quot;Damage to Celluloid&quot; on pages 13-18.&nbsp; This book offers no remedies to damage but does make reference &quot;Once this reaction begins even washing in alcohol may not stop it&quot; and further states that &quot;Moisture in itself would not harm the celluloid...moisture will cause wires in hinges and linings in vases to rust&quot;.</p><p>Sorry, I can offer no further help and this doesn&#039;t relate to your lovely comb but it does indicate that she isn&#039;t averse to applying alcohol or fluid to celluloid.</p><p>The major point she stresses is isolation/segregation of damaged pieces as direct contact isn&#039;t required to spread to other pieces, the fumes alone could infect solid pieces.</p><p>I hope someone else here has the &quot;Care of Celluloid&quot; book, I&#039;d be interested in arresting development of damage too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
