Gentlemen,
I sent off my Ugly Toggling this morning to Alex for the first part of the restoration. The adjustment knob turns, but the mechanism itself is frozen. Add to that the immense abuse the plating has received in the last 54 years, and you have a very, very Ugly Toggling.
If Alex works his magic, its off to one of our fine B&B replaters - I think Rhodium or Gold, probably Rhodium.
If all comes out as hoped, I'll post pictures of the beautiful Toggle Swan this Ugly Toggling becomes!!
