<p>[QUOTE="Jen and George, post: 99329, member: 845"]It's not valuable except to us. After looking at it more carefully, it looks as if it has been shellacked. It has that yellowish color that old shellac gets. I used a damp microfiber cloth and wiped it down so it's not so dirty, but is still yellow. I have seen others of his glued to board so it must have been a fairly common practice at that time. We will have to live with it since we like the subject. Thanks Fig.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
