It came out really nice!!! Congrats on it. What did it cost to do that and who did it? I know someday I'm going to find something that I want to pay someone to clean professionally.... so I don't ruin it!!!

Let me know if you are every interested in selling it.

Let me know if you are every interested in selling the tag.


I found this about a year ago and posted it on treasurenet and decided to have it restored. Here's the before and after. Incredible work. It took about 8 months.
