1930s bathroom tiles just discovered! But how on earth do I go about restoring them?

[HMVR]

Yesterday we pulled off some blown 70s/80s tiles from our bathroom wall in our new house and were very excited to find the original green 30s tiles underneath. I would love to keep them but have no idea where to start. The main problem is that they are covered in tile adhesive. What is the best way to remove this? Thank you.

Steam stripper and a sharp scraper will get the adhesive off. Try small area you might be amazed
