There once was a chauffeur who fell in love with his bosses wife. Unfortunately he was caught in the act, and he fled through the bed room window. Fortunate for me I now in the year 2017 found it, in an act of courage, beating out this crummy rainy day!
Obviously this is a before and after cleaning. Love CLR.

Thanks all! I don't feel worthy, with all your colonial finds. But gotta admit I was excited to find the badge. Guess I should do a sequel when his boss finally caught up to him! He dropped his pay for the week which included a ..........
