To be honest I think the amount of time needed to repair it wouldn't be worth it.
Also- if you have children to pass it on to I would write down everything about it for them. That's what I'm doing with things I want my kids to have. One of them requested it so now I do it for everything. Example- I have a pendant that belonged to my great grandmother that I'm going to leave to my granddaughter. It came from Italy, as did my great grandmother. So many details get lost over generations so I wrote down everything and will include it with the pendant.
That's an awesome idea Susie! My mom did that with a lot of old family pictures. I would never have know who any of the people were in them if she hadn't. I love this way of passing family stories on to the next generation.
