Hello Rita,
We have had numerous items taken back to their original finish / paint
by Federal Restoration of Mineral Point - they do excellent work. In
fact, we have four items currently being restored at their shop. Their
phone number is 608-987-3566 and ask for Deb Camardo.
Good luck with your project.
