Commissionaire, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement
The object of my Invention is to manufacture an improved description of varnish
suitable for preserving, varnishing, polishing or coating saddlery and leather of all
kinds the saddlery so treated retaining its ordinary color; my Invention being also
applicable to furniture and other articles and materials.
In carrying out my Invention, I mix together two ounces of refined white wax,
two ounces of the best bees wax, seven ounces of oil of turpentine, three drachms of
oil of origanum, three drachms of oil of rosemary, and five grains of saffron ; and in
the like proportions for any greater or less quantity.
In some cases I substitute paraffin wax for the white wax, varying the proportion
according to requirements.
When it is desirable to impart opacity or color to my composition, any suitable
pigment or coloring matter may be mixed with the same for that purpose, such as
black for black harness, and other colors in like manner.
The wax is first melted, and the saffron added thereto; the saffron is enclosed in a
piece of cloth and placed in the melted wax, whereby the color of the saffron .is
imparted to the melted wax. When the color has been thereby extracted from the
saffron the cloth is withdrawn, and the remainder of the aforesaid ingredients added,
by stirring in and mixing the same.
Although the proportions of the ingredients herein before described are preferred,
I do not rigidly confine myself to such proportions, as they may be judiciously varied
to some extent, to suit varieties of climate, and of the materials to which the com-
position or polish is applied.
: "
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my 'said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
clain is
The manufacture and use of the improved preservative composition or polish, sub-
stantially as herein before described.
