Tom´s Restorations

[Tom_Restorer]

Very cool Tom, I'd love to own a work of art as ancient as this some day.
All I can afford these days is a coloring book and a box of old crayons.
Dave

Forgotten to tell... 19./20. Dynasty means approx 3200 years old.

Some stuff my wife restored

one of the latest works.

Celtic Aulerci Electrum Stater with rust on the surface from other Iron Artefacts.

Came out beautiful with one of the best backsides I´ve ever seen on this type.

More coin restoration photos of greec and celtic coins will follow! Just having trouble to make good photos of dark green bronze coins.

Tom,
Great job on the coin. Here's hoping you and the family are doing well.

An other piece I am working on at the moment. A huge greek Hydria (40cm) from an 60s collection.
Body is Intact but some chips on the glasy and on the rim will be retouched with airbrush after it was cleaned.
