[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2362230, member: 51"]Nice set, not an expert in removing verdigris, but definitely try to get it off. With some metal findings it can do real irreversible damage as it seems to take finish off or dull it permanently. Haskell-like, at least. Are the two small pieces pins? I thought earrings at first from the front, but now see the somewhat unusual closures in the back. Maybe would be something to see if MH ever used closures like those. This is not what you were asking, but maybe others can benefit, I learned a tip regarding photographing a white item on a black background.
