[QUOTE="OzzieAu, post: 677387, member: 4086"] It could be imitation gold leaf gilded, so the gilt would have tarnished and any abrasive cleaning action will more than likely remove whatever is left. Use a very soft brush or cloth with a solution of mild detergent and ammonia to gently clean it to remove any dirt and oxidation. When dry thoroughly go over it with a soft metho soaked q tip...... about all you can do safely. A very nice find. They certainly treasured their priceless little matches in those days...🔥 [/QUOTE]
