This is the metal on the edge which is extremely dirty so I decided to clean it...something I love to do


There was a lot of dirt and it took so time to clean it, but look how beautiful it is


I cleaned the wood and the graphics with a soft brush. Some of the deep marks were too stubborn to remove. Maybe there is a better way. If anyone knows drop me a comment.
I decided not to seal it unless I keep it



This one isn't as old but functions quite well.
My grandkids are going to love it

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
