People that collect/sell antiques know little secrets to clean items to make them look new again. On the flip side of that coin, they also know how to make something look "antiquish". I don't collect antiques but my father did. He once found a silver bowl made by the Unger Brothers and paid $6 for it at an auction. He used saliva to test if it was silver or not. Saliva takes off tarnish nicely on silver. The bowl was worth hundreds. Just an example of how the world of collectables works. For all you know, that vintage dial was an aftermarket dunked in lemonaide.
