I HAVE A COLLECTION OF 1920-1940 PIECES OF BEDROOM AND DINING FURNITURE FROM BOTH SETS OF GRANDPARENTS(ALL DECEASED). I HAVE FOUND NO MARKINGS BUT SOME NUMBERS. I WOULD LIKE TO ID THESE PIECES AND THEN CLEAN THEM WITHOUT DAMAGING THE REAL FINISH. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORMULAS FOR CLEANING BUT AM SCARED TO USE THEM FOR FEAR IT WOULD BE THE WRONG FORMULA FOR THAT PIECE. I HAVE SEACHED THE LIBRARY AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO ID ANY PIECE. I DO KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHEN THEY WERE PURCHASED. I WOULD BE WILLING TO PHOTO ALL PIECES FOR AN EXPERT TO HELP ME ID. AND THEN RECOMMEND A CLEANING PROCESS. THESE PIECES DO NOT NEED TO BE STRIPPED AND I PREFER NOT TO DESTROY THE PATINA BY DOING SOMETHING WRONG. NANCY
