Hello All,
We have in our collection a hernia belt dating from the 1930s.  There  
are two pressure spots that are filled with a sticky substance that  
has leaked overtime causing a residue to form.  I can't wrap the belt  
because the tissue sticks and rips off and I was wondering if there  
was any way to store this without causing damage.  The majority of the  
belt is made of leather and metal.  Any suggestions on how to store  
this?

Sincerely,

Christa McCay, M.H.P.
