    Good Morning all !!! I just wanted to post a couple of photos of one of my recent purchases. It is a 1909 ABC set that was so badly tarnished it looked like the case was a gunmetal coated case. So, I spent about an hour on it shining it up last night. Here's some photos.

    Looks great. What did you use to reline the inside of the case?

    Hello, I relined the tray on the bottom half of the case. I used some brown felt I got at Hancock Fabric store.

    It's a lost art. Everything today is disposable. I need to start seeing the recoverable pieces.

    I picked up a Big Fellow that was hiding in a lot. It was pretty black.

    I finished this up a couple of days ago. It ain't perty but she's mine .
    The case I got in a lot with a few razors. It was gutted and most of the finish was worn off. I initially spray painted it flat black but the paint started to crack. So I stripped it and sanded it down a little. It's no where near a professional upholstery but I didnt put a whole of effort into either. It's just basic red felt and I made the base out of some scrap wood . I didn't take into account the thickness of the felt. Oh well. It's better than it was.
