Cool Find

[jfields]

My wife found this cool piece of Tobacciana for my cigar lounge the other day. Just can’t figure out whether to leave it as is with the patina, or should I polish it up.....

I feel like if I clean it, the 5 cent Havana Cigars logo will stand out.

Leave it as it is. You can always buy a polished spittoon brand new if you wanted. Can’t buy a nice patina like that.

I agree with oke, antique wise the value is more because of the patina, anyone can do new, only after years does the patina begin to establish itself. Great find John.

Seriously cool, don't polish it. Looks amazing just as it is.

 

[Scap]

As is. Awesome find.

Guess I'm in the minority, I'd polish it up.

If I've learned anything from my wife watching antiques roadshow, never clean old things.

Leave it be John...it looks like what it's supposed to look like.

Very cool indeed!
