Default 1870 Howe Treadle

Finally (after 1 1/2 years) had the time and energy to clean up my 1870 Howe Mother of Pearl Treadle w/folding coffin top. The first 2 pics are the before. The next ones are the after, obviously. The cabinet was iffy. I wasn't sure that I would be able to just use the Howard's Restore a Finish and not have to do a complete refinish. Happily, it worked and looks great. The head was filthy. Cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. It now glistens. Polished the irons w/black paste shoe polish.
