I have a work in progress, and have not done too many restorations. I can
clean the images up, but on this one I am not sure which way to go. I would
appreciate any I could get. I am not looking for anyone to do it, just tell
me what I should do. I am concerned about making the top of the image that
has faded match or come close to the lower portion of the image.

Something tells me that perhaps Granny has a suggestion...... :-) I sure
hope so!

Thanks in advance
