Are you trying to do an original restoration, or a modified restoration, obviously if you're doing a original restoration, paint it orange, if it's a modres, go with the matching paint.

My friends took an old window pane that had six sections in it and got engagement photos from my mom (black and white), went to Hobby Lobby to buy black mats for each section and used the window to "frame" our pictures.  It is really beautiful and classic looking but very different at the same time.  She put a new silver handle and lock on it to keep the window feel.  I'm from Oklahoma.

Tinted contacts help to create more contrast and eliminate shadows, thus making images more crisp. I think the lenses are tinted amber (yellowish-orange) for outdoor sports.

you could try  a fine steelwool, i would start with 0000 and work your way up to larger grades as needed but this will remove the blueing. if the pitting is only minor i would use a soft scotchbrite pad and a light oil such as 3 in 1 oil . rub lightly, this should remove the rust with minamal damage to the finish,remove the oil with a soapy rag ,rinse with a clean rag ,let dry then touch up with a blueing pen or luiquid blue and a cotton swuab.

Notre Dame cathedral. I wish! I want it in September and I like navy blue with a lime green. My taste will change though.

I think the best thing to do would be to search for one on eBay and see how much they're asking.  If that doesn't work or if you don't like what you see, take it to a local antiques dealer and see what they think.  I know it's not really old enough to be antique, but I've heard antique dealers are appraising toys from the 80's now, so why not?

WOW Joyce, your question is the second time I've ever heard of (actually SAW it the first time) something like this.\nWe'd discovered that the water stabilizer had reacted with one of the pigments in the paint inside making both, a gas pocket, AND a cloudy mixture inside. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do about it except for taking it back where you bought it from and maybe trading it for another?\nHope that helps.

Each material absorbs different wavelengths of light. It turns out that glass an air absorb very little in the visual range of the spectrum (although they absorb in other regions). However, they do absorb some. If you had a piece of ordinary glass that was very thick, it wouldn't pass much light. In fact, one reason that mountains in a distance look blue is that the longer wavelengths are absorbed by the air. On the other hand, it is possible to have pices of metal that are so thin that they pass light.

Teacher is wrong. This is a popular misconception, but the usually cited "proof", that old windows are thicker at the bottom, only proves that old glass was irregular in thickness. A smart glazier would install a pane thick edge down for better strength.\n\nEvidence to the contrary includes the fact that large telescope mirrors and lenses, which must be figured  to within less than 100 nanometers (4 micro-inches), maintain this figure indefinitely. Telescopes over 100 years old are still in use. Also, glass artifacts over 3000 years old still hold their shape.\n\nThis misconception arises because glass, being an amorphous, as opposed to crystalline solid, has no clearly defined melting point. However, at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, glass is most definitely solid. Actually, metals exhibit more "liquid" behavior than glass does, because they will creep under load, something glass does not do.

I've seen them in my local Lewiscraft.  You have to paint them yourself, though, so don't forget the gold spraypaint! :)
