I've never restore anything, but once had some stuff including am 1880s die cut Sweet Caporal sign stored at my parents while I was moving. When I stopped by their place, my mom (who is an amateur artist, craftperson, quilter, seamstress, house painter, jewelry maker, flower arranger and all the things many moms do) said she accidentally broke off the top of the sign and carefully glued it back together. She did such an excellent job that, if she had not told me, I may have never noticed.
She later she liked the sign, so I gave it to her and it still hangs in a hallway at my parents house.
