Hello; bought a 1931 lion head awhile back. 100 % complete, except cash box. first saw it , then it went away , took me a month or so to see it again & I bought it.
sat on an end table in a bed room for 30 years untouched. original owner bought it shortly after getting married in Illinois back in the 1950's. him or the wife thought the colors were to gaudy , so they striped that all off & painted it all gold.
award card not on it yet ,as I miss placed it. but different than the typical type you see used & dated 32.
took a long while to repaint it by hand. the colors I picked never seemed right , so bought more yellows & reds. any how , turned out very well, just took to long.
first image as I got it.

Wow lots of work there and it shows off great! What color yellow is that and brand and where did you get it I like that and would buy some to have on hand instead of trying to mix it again.
