Given the semi-glossy sheen, I do think someone along the line during the past 85 years may have been overly exuberant with a cotton cloth, but I'm glad to hear that this doesn't seem to be a huge negative as far as you all are concerned. Thanks again for the expert advice, and if anyone else still wants to put in their two cents, please feel free to do so. Jay[/QUOTE]
