THE WALL MASK RESTORATION SERVICE For many years now we have been receiving requests from lots of individuals the World over for assistance in restoring old masks that they have found in Antique shops etc. Some of these masks are in a bad state of repair. Usually we put these people onto a couple of quality restorers, but really when I got to think carefully about this problem it is obvious that we are the real experts. Our artists are trained to paint these unusual items and we can restore the finish to almost new as we know the formulas that created them in the first place. Therefore the service we are offering will work as follows. If you have a piece that is in need of restoring the first thing to do is to take a good CLEAR PHOTOGRAPH of it. Then send it to us at the factory with a covering letter giving us your address and contact details to:- LEGEND LANE LTD ALBION MILL LONDON RD MACCLESFIELD CHESHIRE SKII 7SQ We will then take a look at your piece and let you know if we can restore it. We will probably ask you some questions as to the damage, if the piece is badly chipped then it may well be impossible to repair, but if the damage is peeling paint or chipped paint or maybe the piece has yellowed with age then we may be able to remove the Outer sealing coat, re - paint the article and then re seal it with a new coating which will be far superior to the original coat due to new technology. Of course each piece will be a challenge and we can not do this restoration work in a hurry it is a matter of careful delicate work. The cost of this restoration will have to based on an individual basis as each piece will be different. We will then write to you and quote for the work on the piece. We won’t quote silly prices but a fair price for the work undertaken.

Her dress is in shades of grey and gold but her face is normal colour, this unique colour way is just lovely anyone who wants this piece please contact me.

THE CONTINUING MYSTERY OF THE ORIENTAL LADIES Mr Ivan Victor a new member in Australia has had a very lucky find, having seen the articles on the oriental ladies pictured in older issues he managed to locate a immaculate oriental lady, as was pictured in issue 7 newsletter. Apparently an elderly lady had the piece which she had bought many years ago and it had not been out of its original box nor seen the light of day, it is in perfect condition just as it would have been when it left the factory all those years ago probably in the early 1950s. Ivan was very thrilled by this find and so are we . He has sent me a picture her. If any one would like a copy I can get them an A4 laser copy for 1.20 British pounds $1.92 Also Phillipe Gazeau from France has sent me an email picture attachment of another oriental lady find, any one who has email and would like me to send it to them let me know. We have also had two more photos of more mystery pieces found by Kathy & Peter Kilgore no doubt part of the original group, this pieces are pictured below.Peter & Kathy have a webb site dedicated to their legend finds you can take a look on www.tobyhouse.co.uk
