When I first saw this 18" MBH on an online estate sale a couple months ago, I wasn't sure what to think.
I was hoping it was just super dusty and those marks were from tape peeling off a layer of crud. But I had to wait for it to arrive from Michigan to find out. The lid and bowl came in one box, everything else came in a separate box.
It turned out to be an 18" in decent shape, but with an uneven fade due to residue from the lid and bowl being taped together long long ago. I was able to remove that residue with a scraper pretty easily, but that didn't help the aesthetics at all, so those tape marks are permanent.
NBD, this is what I was after:

After the lid took the same dip, you can see the bowl drying and the fade returning:
Here's a close up of the fade... so cool up close.

This is my first and only faded black and only now can I understand and appreciate their a"peel".
Thanks for looking.
