[QUOTE="Steersman, post: 128498, member: 239"][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5] If it's 300+ years old, it's been polished from many to a zillion times before. Someone got tired of doing it and lacquered it. I've shined an acre or two of brass myself. I found that some floor waxes would save the shine for a while. Too bad there are no letters, but those numerals have a distinctive font, that looks way old. Maybe they are datable?[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
