[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3409962, member: 55"]So, there you have a variety of opinions on what to do, or not to do, about the numbers that were added to the piece. I'm not going to offer an opinion at this point; I'm not sure what I'd do if it were mine; I'd have to look at it carefully, thinking about the existing patina; maybe practice on pieces of raw soapstone that I might have lying about.... And it certainly could be that the numbers don't bother you that much. Sometimes one just takes pieces as they are, flaws, and additions being part of the history of the piece, as MOS suggested; and wax filler is certainly an option as I and others mentioned. I think it is a cute piece, and stands on its own, with or without the numbers.[/QUOTE]
