Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74096 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 5:42 pm Definitely some kind of substance, not sure what it is. It's damage. Maybe I'll come off giving a soak in Acetone? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25172 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 5:56 pm It looks like solder. If the acetone has no effect, try running a torch over it quickly to see what happens. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 6:27 pm I'm not sure I would pass a torch over it. It almost looks as though someone tried to amalgamate it with mercury, and if so, you could very easily volatilize and inhale the toxic metal. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95855 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 6:35 pm why is it purplish looking? I would try a nice acetone bath over night to see what comes off. Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 8:21 pm Defiantly solder. Mercury wouldn't buildup on the surface like that. You're not wasting anybody's time as long as you're learning stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
