Default all fixed!
A little bit of spidering on his cap. Likely the result of age, but otherwise couldn't be happier!

Looking a bit closer, I do have some smudges. I will try to touch those up but I got seriously excited once I started to see the original below!

Talk about a treasure. I had originally opened it up thinking I was disappointed. Absolutely thrilled now.

Campy's left shoulder is discolored compared to the spot you cleaned. 60 years of airborne grime has left its mark. Let's also not forget that workplaces were certainly not "smoke-free" back in that day. I would assume there to be tar and nicotine over the exposed portion of the photo as well. I wonder if there is any way to clean a part of it and be happy. My guess would be that once you start you will wind up cleaning the entire photo. There is no "patina premium" to concern yourself with, is there?

Nice job, and an even nicer photo. Good snag, and kudos on the clean-up!
