[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4396488, member: 18716"]Try citric acid on a cotton bud/qtip Many thanks for the extra detail, and yes I have quite a few post war Toledo pieces which are much more basic, the blackening looks more like a paste compared to this one. It doesn't seem to be rubbed as it is even all over with no signs of a thicker oxide coating. I still haven't been able to turn up much more useful info, the open work gold back seems to be an anomaly, although it was clearly manufactured to fit the front (or vice-versa). This discussion is now referenced already and shows up when you search though which is quite amusing.:joyful:[/QUOTE]
