<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 263440, member: 5213"]Hey, I have been finding some amazing ring boxes lately to go with my collection. I got this 1920s? or 1930s? ring box from an antique store earlier today however it was quite dirty with some stains and an old musty smell. It is maid out of some sort of corded material. I let it set out in fresh air for hours and it helped tremendously but there is still a faint smell. As for the stains I tried a q-tip with water and it didn't do anything but strip a little color out of the fabric.... I think I may have to leave it alone. Will leave it out if the sun tomorrow for awhile to help disinfect it as well. Thoughts or advice?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]82561[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]82559[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
