Just got it ; Fabian Gaffke ..... I will greatly appreciate any advice from those of you who have previous experience cleaning the surface of a glossy-finish 1930's photo/card . This is 1 Worch Cigar premium , probably 1935.
The edges/borders at some places had been protected somewhat and you can still see a bit of the original bright white shiny surface .
It sort of looks like just normal airborne grime and perhaps cigarette smoke , and exposure to a lifetime hung on a wall....a few spots that almost look like mold.?
I'll show it again as a '' before and after '' if I have any success restoring the surface but at any rate I need to put it on Tim N.'s thread about the ''Worch Cigar Project'' since there is no Gaffke in any condition currently there. I don't think there's a lot of these around anymore , except for Leon's two SGC 80's.
