Saw this with no bids on it. But some people did bid. I managed to win it though, for £20.

Ill clean it chemically to blast white and then perhaps leave it somewhere to tone (or use a particular method to tone it to a golden hue). I'm considering keeping it but It may work out better for me to sell it as I got a good price on it.

The blurry pictures are promising. It doesn't look cleaned so I'm guessing its a UK find.

I just need to flush the surface of oxides, ill probably use Ethanoic Acid for that. Once thats clean, leave it in a sulphurous environment for maybe 15 minutes, then an alkali bath, distilled water and then seal in wax. That should give it a nice hue without any troublesome compounds weedling their way in.
