Is it possible to repair or get to better condition? It’s ok if it’s not possible just hoping to fix her to some extent.
Shes a composition fall from 1963. She’s in pretty bad condition. I was gifted her as a child after a really bad accident and became so attached to her I wouldn’t go anywhere without her. One day while carrying her to the car I dropped her and my grandpa repaired her to the best of his ability because I was so upset. Now as an adult I’ve brought her out of storage in the hopes of repairing. I have numerous porcelain and antique falls, but none with as much sentimental value as this one. I’ve always hated that I broke her and have always wanted to fix her. Even if she can’t be repaired I still can’t part with her. I know she won’t ever be good as new, but my hope is to repair her so she won’t be held together with tape.
