Hi! I hope this is the right spot for this type of inquiry. I'm a new member and new collector of vintage arcade items and was hoping somebody here could help me identify the provenance of a recently acquired piece to help me restore it.
The glass looks like this:
Again, I'm no expert. My guess would be 1940's or 50's. The woman who sold it to me said it was not from a pinball machine, but she couldn't recall much else. I'd just love to know what was once in the scoreboard section and what the paint looked like prior to getting so chipped
On a related note, is it common for people who restore this kind of stuff to touch up chipped paint? Or is that part of the charm? I hate to ruin a nice piece. Any advice on how to proceed there would also be appreciated
