Repairing / Cleaning Your Figurine
A soft tooth brush, warm water and some mild dish detergent can make a huge difference. I purchased this Crown HUM 72 – Little Helper for $14.97 in April of 2021. It took about 10 minutes to carefully clean it and boy, what a fantastic improvement it made. If the seller had cleaned and used better lighting on it for the photographs, it could have certainly brought in a purchase price several times over.
