A few months ago I picked up this Piedmont chair solely for the challenge of fixing it up. The porcelain sign turned out to be a beauty with no rust or chips. I did not enjoy removing the old paint, so I'm good with that for a while. I'm very pleased with the results.
Show us some of your memorabilia work.

Some of you may have read it before but above is a link to the initial find, 3rd paragraph down...and link below is where I found out it was worth a lot more than the $10.00, seen in the first paragraph.
