I know of many things that will take it off, but I'm paranoid about damaging the original finish. It's still in really nice shape.

I took ice cubes and froze the residue and used a plastic scraper to remove the frozen glue - it took a while but it all came off without any damage. You could also use those lunch box freezer packs. I recently acquired an old wooden desk -the masking tape had been on there so long that it turned to dust as I was removing it-of course the gluey crap stayed. Using any kind of new cleaning chemicals on old varnish can and will ruin the original finish 99 times out of a 100. This tip comes from a book my MIL gave me and if you don't have one put it on your list of GottaGet's--- Household Hints from Heloise
