<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 23710, member: 23"]I used a dampish soft cloth to take off the surface dust. It's very dull compared to what I recall decades ago. Very heavy. My guess is pot metal with a thin coating of paint. My grandmother's photo has always been in this. Is there a way to clean it further without taking off the finish? My parents were chain smokers, so I suspect it's coated with nicotine as everything else in the house was.[ATTACH=full]5861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5862[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
