[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4469368, member: 1136"]This piece was from my significant others granny's house. No one even knew it existed because it was in the very back of their canning shed that couldn't even be walked in, literally you could only open the door.. the last time anyone even remembered being able to shimmy in there was the 1970s. Anyways, since my SO wasn't laying claim to anything, I claimed this for him :D It looks to have been repainted at some point with this terrible green paint. (Don't let the pictures fool you, it's a very Oscar the grouch green) If it's the same type of paint I think it is, it comes off very goopy when trying to remove it :depressed:, so I guess I'll live with it. I'd still like to clean it though. It's very dusty and mildewed. What's the best cleaner for the raw wood and painted wood? How about the rusted tin? Should I try and "rub" the loose rust off or leave it as-is? I dont plan on using this as food storage, but storage for files and Misc what not. What time period would yall attribute this piece to? It seems as though locks, handles, etc have been removed, moved, and replaced. It seems to have an array of different nails and repairs as well.
