I’ve just tested it with Bicarbonate of Soda - maybe OBB suggested that to me a while ago? Apologies I can’t remember who it was. Came up yellow...
Thankyou INH!. Well found (as always!). Glad mine is maroon not bright orange. It’s got exactly the same pin clasp- I’ll see if I can get some...
I’m presuming this is Bakelite? Haven’t tested as I don’t seem to have much luck without simichrome. He’s quite big at c4 inches tail to tip of...
I’ve just joined one- I’ll see what they say. I’d be very happy to pass it on uncleaned!

Yes, a very simple piece but made with some skill. My OH and I were trying to guess its history and who Louie was.
I suspect this is a modern souvenir piece but any ideas where from or useful descriptive terms for it please? thankyou :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I think I need that clasp!
Ooh that clasp is lovely!
Awesome. Thankyou Kyra
A few more photos after its first bath. Still a bit of yellow to remove but the stone is a little more blue now it’s cleaner. Also more question...
