[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 10266452, member: 360"]What a lovely set! Here's my latest score, from the flea-market yesterday. I spent yesterday, and today, restoring the wooden slide-top box that it came with. BEFORE: [ATTACH=full]514525[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]514528[/ATTACH] AND AFTER: [ATTACH=full]514526[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]514527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]514530[/ATTACH] And here's the set: [ATTACH=full]514529[/ATTACH] The set didn't have any dice when I bought it, but fortunately I had a nice pair of bone ones lying around that I added into it. As you can see, the original finish on the box was in terrible condition, so I sanded it all down and re-shellacked it - very pleased with the results! The edging of the box also had some deep gouge-marks in it, as you can probably see. I was able to reduce, but sadly, not remove, the worst of them, so at least it looks a little better in that respect.[/QUOTE]
