FP, You have done yourself proud. I usually start out looking like the second set of pics, and they end up looking like
your first set of pics. GREAT FIND, AND GREAT RESTORATION JOB.
Now, share your secret. :thumbsup:

Very nice. I figured they would clean up alright and they did. You may want to find out what people do to preserve them after a cleaning. I've heard oil and also using beeswax. There are a few people who can definitively clarify what's best. Since you've already cleaned them it shouldn't be any the worse to preserve them.
