As Pauly has started a thread, I'll keep things tidy & add to it 
I also received a small parcel yesterday containing these 2 somewhat grubby items plus a complimentary hank of Lincoln Longwool! 
Most will recognize a pair of the now infamous Marshall patterns:
Gave them a gentle soapy wash to remove the oily grime & rather rank smell & amazing to discover the intricacy. The wheel is a jigsaw puzzle assembly of probably a dozen parts held together with brass pins. The other pattern also includes some brass & made of entirely different wood. After drying, I then applied some antique furniture balm made of turpentine; beeswax & laurel oil & am more than pleased with results:
Not wishing to ignite any old squabbles but consider this a far better outcome than a pile of ash…….. Had a certain person not been who he was, where he was & done what he did at a crucial time this would have been gone forever & no one any the wiser.
Very proud to be their present caretaker & always available should the need arise. |

SG....those sure cleaned up and oiled up well...I'd be proud to display them for sure. I am waiting on a little parcel one of these days...hope yet this week.
I agree, so much nicer that pieces like this ended up in loving hands vs. so much wood ash. Thanks for sharing.
