Cork

A family friend would like to know if there is anything she can do
to preserve a disintegrating cork of her father's 1930s
boat-in-a-bottle model. She does not want to replace the cork.

If nothing can be done by said layperson, I would most appreciate
some direction as to what conservator(s) to contact in Northern
California regarding this problem.

    **** Moderator's comments:   The Foundation of the American
    Institute for Conservation (FAIC) has a service called the AIC
    Guide to Conservation Services, which will help you find a
    conservator in a particular specialty and geographic area.
