They did way better than those people that paint and then sand the edges of mid-century furniture.<br /><br />Scott: Oh, you made me laugh with that one! Sprinkle a little water on and maybe mushrooms would pop up.<br /><br />notagain: Yeah, it is not irretrievable. But a near mint one costs about the same.<br /><br />Ton: Agreed. They aren't even trying. They could put it on top of the car and run it through a wash. That could help.<br /><br />Miguel: One man's debris is another mans patina.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-90562650378030821112013-04-29T19:20:07.507-05:002013-04-29T19:20:07.507-05:00Maybe he thinks that's what collectors want; t...Maybe he thinks that's what collectors want; the "patina"Miguel Chávezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411154570699775904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-29332676946447192562013-04-29T11:21:33.529-05:002013-04-29T11:21:33.529-05:00Funny, why doesn't the seller give it a quick ...Funny, why doesn't the seller give it a quick wipe and clean it up a bit.

So, as a way of taking a break from it, I wrote about my favourite films. <br />Ahh, movies. Is there nothing they cannot do?<br />I bet that Smith-Corona could still belt out an entire novel.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.com
