Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since anyone posted in this forum but I've been dreaming of a small classic flap vintage with 24K gold plating in black caviar. I missed out on one in good condition and I found another but it wasn't in as good shape and the quilting on the flap is flat. I tried my best to clean her up but while cleaning noticed that she had been dyed previously and I'm now in a legal dispute with the store who sold it to get a refund. I paid about 2K USD and found she had been dyed and the consignment store tried to cover up the blemishes on the hardware with gold nail polish . I've been searching but can't find one. Should I suck it up and keep it? Or return it and wait for another? Here's some pics including a close up of the nail polish and the inside hardware has like dye or paint on it.
