@BillieBun Damp scrubby sponge for the back removes decades of grime and often smoke residue. and odors.

Damp sponge & sometimes q-Tips on the front to just clean the surface dirt without letting water soak into the compo decoration.

@BillieBun Cleaned (inside and out) and minor touch ups.

I try not to mess with the front too much. People prefer them when they look old/original.

But I am learning how to re-cast and replace missing bits.

Somehow I morphed from putting thousands of pictures I snapped on a wall to putting up only those others have snapped.

@CJLavoie In a few weeks, there will be seeds-a -plenty for your garden.

@rebus They are. Just a few dings along the edges. I hope to look that good After 100+ years.

@ATXJane Take them apart for a cleaning. New hanging hardware, backboard, and sealing tape. Hopefully to keep them alive for a few more decades. And then probably sell them on Fakebook or a flea market.

But sadly, most people are buying the bubble glass for things like bug collections.

The people stuck in an airport or, those who are glad they are not traveling, or nobody.

I'm saving this for the next time I try to explain to my doctor what is wrong with me
