That elephant is very cool!!! Although it would probably be a cardinal sin, I'd be tempted to strip that paint.

The elephant is absolutely amazing! And I would not do a thing to change it. When you're 104 years old you are not supposed to look new!

The white paint is original to the piece I wouldn't touch it

I'm a dissenter it would appear, I would have it restored, bet it would look amazing. Now he kind of looks like the Philadelphia Dalmations. Very cool item!

But what if you found a nice lead-based can of white paint from the early 1900's? : ) jk!!!
Kevin that probably is lead paint so you might want to restore it for safety reasons, don't let your dog start licking it. I actually could see going either way on this type of item, I know some say never touch, which is true will turn off some, others will appreciate a nice restored piece....and the value goes up 3X. exhibit A http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=180572 Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 11-24-2015 at 01:05 PM. |

as Steve Stone would say"........and for all you youngsters out there..." be careful with vintage painted items:
Not saying Kevin's new acquisition does or does not, but better safe then sorry: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/lead/vintage/ |
