I've wanted a VTLA for the longest time. This past weekend I just picked up the one I regretted not buying at Union (since the truck was already full ). It cleaned up beautifully and I couldn't be happier with it! None of the frieze molding is damaged and the finish is all original and in superb condition. All I have done so far is go over it with New Life Furniture Masque which absolutely works wonders. Next up on my list... a Victor VI.

Is New Life Furniture Masque better than using GoJo ??

In my opinion, it is a superior product, yes. It's $20 a jar, but well worth the premium price.briankeith wrote:Is New Life Furniture Masque better than using GoJo ??

That is a very, very fine example. I'd hang onto that for a long time if I were you.

It's definitely in the "not for sale until I'm dead" category!Garret wrote:That is a very, very fine example. I'd hang onto that for a long time if I were you.

Very nice. The VTLA was a benchmark for elegant uprights. Jerry Blais
