Savinelli Silver Before/After Restoration

[danielplainview]

Fat stubby billiard with a silver band. It checked all the boxes for me. I had to rescue it. It looked rough upon arrival but it was worth the trouble.

Beautiful resto! Did you fix the button with heat or a file?

 

[danielplainview]

heat or file?

Yes, both. I made a little tool with paper clips to lift up the dents from inside when the vulcanite is hot.

I love the look of those Sav 101s, although I've yet to purchase one. You certainly brought that one back to life :clap:

Zowie, what a contrast. From dumpster to showcase.
