[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 672656, member: 136"]Seaweed, my best guess is that the person who painted this (and, it seems, fancied up the lining) probably did so because the original finish was "shot". Often, when you find these little boxes today, most of the original silver plating is gone. I'm sure you could remove the paint, one way or another, but I doubt there's much hope of bringing it back to its "former glory".[/QUOTE]
