<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 485071, member: 56"]I agree with the others about textured prints. Don't know when they were introduced, decorative items from the 1960s (ish) seems entirely plausible. I think they have been coated with something like a varnish. Don't know if that would have been tinted when applied, or yellowed with age. I think when you are cleaning, what's coming off is either varnish, or decades of dirt... possibly cigarette residue. There are little, lighter spots on the surface. My guess is that the varnish has flaked at those points.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
