I&#039;ve not seen the tube hinge in the flesh yet, and this morning brought me two (for a euro each)! The other one is in another post, cause I need cleaning tips for this poor thing.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I passed it up at first because I thought it was damaged, but upon a second inspection it looks like just a lot of dirt and grime on top of an intact enamel. I have no idea what the base is made of, it doesn&#039;t really sound like wood when tapped with my fingernail, maybe resin? Its too dirty to tell if there&#039;s any lines for another material.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Also any ideas as to age? I was thinking AN period, 1880s/90s?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">How does one clean this up? Dry soft toothbrush? Some warm water? Damp cloth? I really don&#039;t want to ruin it.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]445410[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]445411[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
