Hello guys and gals. I recently purchased this Mail Pouch thermometer at a local auction. In true fashion I fell in love with the piece and overlooked it’s defects. Then I got it home. It appears as if someone attempted to repair the 2 areas of damage. With what exactly? Is that paint? Even worse is that body filler? Does anyone have any experience cleaning up pieces like this? How can I remove the paint/filler without damaging the piece? I don’t know why people think doing this stuff to old advertising pieces helps it. Just like with guns, leave it alone. It’s only original once.
