wow.. an original that didn't crumble to dust. I wonder if they did fade.
by the way. I finished the messed up escutcheon this weekend. I had a little trouble with the yellow frog tape sticking properly around the edges. but as long as you don't get too close... ;-) I'm happy the brown model paint I used to touch up the missing original paint blended in so well after I sprayed on the clear acrylic. btw, note that the screws holding in the escutcheon are actually Phillips head. I didn't realize anyone used those in 1941.
