I cleaned some today and the lady said they were at least 350 years old!!!

I was very happy when job was finished without cracking any  ;D

They came up pretty good.

they had not been cleaned for about 30 years since they moved in.
The neighbour paid for them to be cleaned for a really old couple when I did his. He was sick of the sight of them.
the whole house was like that.
