The finish you can see a shine in the back ground but the rest is a dull build up of wax. Can anyone help me out with this. I just had the clock restored to working order but he didn’t clean the outside of it disappointed in that area of restoration.

How to clean an antique ironstone platter?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
cicatrix asked:


I bought a great ceramic platter from the thrift store, but it has a few spots where the glaze is scratched, and stains have soaked into the body. They didn’t come out with normal washing. Can I soak the platter in a bleach solution? Will that help? Will it damage the glaze? Is there a better way to clean it?
It’s white, with a bit of a yellowish patina.

How much are my antique bricks worth?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
dmwr asked:


I’ve removed a chimney from my 1919 house, and I have about 400 bricks from the chimney. I’ve been offered .25 cents per brick - is this a reasonable offer or should I hold out? And, secondarily, if I wanted to go buy new bricks, how much would they cost me per brick?
The bricks aren’t the cleanest - some are in good shape - others aren’t.

I bought a lot of old print blocks at an antique mall. I would like to display them. How?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Gemma asked:


These are print blocks with old adverts on them. I have at least 100, but it is not necessary to use them all in a single display. Thanks for your suggestions!

What is the best way to find someone that can dismantle and reuse the wood from my antique barn?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
sunshyne77177 asked:


I have a barn that is post and beam, over 200 years old that we would like someone to come out and give a price for the antique wood and dismantle it as well. We are in Maine and I am sure there are companies that do this but my internet search is coming up empty.
