[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 221111, member: 85"]Not sure about avoiding damages. I'm always amazed at how long things have been around until they get into my hands. LOL. Is the pink material just tucked into the box and not glued in? Personally, I would just wash it. Don't soak it, as you don't want to loosen the plaster holding the metal trim. I keep a squirt bottle of 50/50 ammonia and water for things like this. Then just soap up and rinse quickly. Warm water, not hot. Looks older than the 1950s. Possibly German. Looks like it has a transferred decal with gold paint and enamel highlights. Very pretty.[/QUOTE]
