Hi Sharon, Lucky you is right!
I agree with Beth that you probably shouldn't try repricking the holes.
But I'll disagree with using a crayon to make a rubbing. I think you would have to press too hard to get a rubbing. Chalk maybe.
If it were me, I'd be sticking it in my scanner and trying to scan it. Hopefully the little holes will show up as black dots. You might need to play around with your scanner. I have an HP (something model). When copying prickings I usually set it to 300 dpi, and Black/White output. The dots and lines show up a little more bolder when b/w, otherwise just some dull grayscale. ick.
You might also be able to play around with some scanner settings to get rid of the background (is vellum brownish?) Or once I also was able to playaround with color background settings in Photoshop to get rid of the color. Anyway, "playing around" is as specific as I can get cuz I don't remember what I did!! Then if it is scanned it then you can also clean up a bunch of stuff in Photoshop. And you can also zoom in and see things in great detail on the computer that you might not see with the naked eye (or reading glasses ;-)
Of course, this assumes you have a scanner or know someone who does. And have some sort of photo/graphing software to play around.
Anyway, that's what I would do. Anita Cedar Rapids, Iowa
