There is photo of the storage area when they were in Dearborn in the
Dethlefson and Wile DD book.  They were in the process of being shipped
when I made my one trip there and wanted to see them.  They are in
plated form, meaning that they grew a metal negative and did not
separate the positive and negative.  This was supposed to protect them. 
I do not know if they have tried separating them all these years later.

The site had long had a display with a blank wax, recorded wax, metal
parts, and pressings.
