I gotta say, this thing was pretty toasty to start with, I really didnt think there was this much detail under all the crud...a 2 hour tumble and the second photo shows the results...at first I thought it was an 1841 but now you can clearly see 1842...very happy with the results! If you have experiments, tips, and advice to add to thread, please do (other than DONT CLEAN THEM

No water, wipe dry and maybe a little wax. Its a little time consuming but its work for me. __________________ |

I don't have a pic of her dirty and don't want to clean her any more than she is.

Here is a few from the end of last year, including my best largie yet. What really blows my mind is I found more largies than buttons this year

This 1798 Draped Bust from 2015 is probably my best condition LC that I have found. That outer crusty shell just came right off with a wooden kabob skewer. You can tell from the dark tone that I also soaked it in extra virgin olive oil...something I don't do anymore.
