Newbie here.

I'm looking at the catalog for the MJD auction being held tomorrow, page
75.

The spittoon in the lower left corner sold for $2860. It wasn't polished.

So why would anyone polish the spittoon removing its patina?

Just wondering.  Thanks.

Paul

To make it easier to hit across a dark saloon?
