<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 257261, member: 308"]Personally, I like the way it looks and I don't think I'd be too quick to take off the paint. Most circa 1900 milk glass was cold painted so it's not unusual to find faded paint and/or missing paint. If I was selling it I would definitely sell as is. But that's JMHO - it's your pin tray and you can do whatever you think will make it look better to you. Most milk glass pin dishes do not have a great deal of value, regardless of decoration, so I don't think stripping it will hurt the value much, if at all. </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
