TheKroe Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 8:05 pm Hey there! I impulse purchased this today at an antique shop. I love the Woodgrain reverse but would love to get some help with a grade. I'm not experienced with these at all so all help is welcome! **Edited: Previously listed as a "Woodgrain Reverse" but concluded to be a cleaning error.

Notice how the gunk and dark is still within the devices and in the harder to clean areas. A dip wipe gone bad, left off doing the obverse which is fortunate, er, maybe not...
