[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 194438, member: 2417"]Hi all, My hubby has bought me a wonderful Tortoise shell sewing box for Christmas, It dates from around 1830, It has a problem though, Someone has been careless and had it sat in the sun, probably a sunny window sill, Consequently it has cracks on the Tortoise shell lid, it looks a little faded too. I know I can feed it with Almond oil to help bring back some lustre but what can I do about the cracks? Is it a specialist job? I can't post piccy's as its been put away until Christmas.[/QUOTE]
