<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 290874, member: 23"]James, it has nothing to do with popularity. It has everything to do with your market. In New England, refinishing is a no-no. Maybe where you're from, it's not. I've run antique shows for Rotary and the local Historical Society. We only allow dealers with genuine antiques. No flea market junk. My parents were in the business so I've been doing this for 60 years and around here, any refinishing or replacement parts devalues an antique. Maybe it's different where you are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
