Waste of time?

Gonna do a moderately strong soak overnight. Hoping to see something identifiable.

Will post "results" tomorrow afternoon.

Oh and, I haven't used the Ox in more than thirty years. The memories of lost youth flow once again, and, I forgot all about that pleasant egg-ish odor...oh joy!

Monster, I clean every mystery can I dig. I've had some great surprises. Some cans clean some don't. Can't wait to see the after photos. Good luck. Steve

What he said 100%.

I got pretty decent results. Alas, the crown didn't survive; there was enough visible to see that it was an Old Shay before it gave up the ghost. The pieces will be laid to rest in a private, albeit respectful ceremony.

***On a side note, I didn't dump these myself. A new friend, someone I met at the Fredrick Md. show did about 30 years ago. I stopped in to see his collection and walked away with a load of lovely rust.***

Now, my thinking is that these are about as good as they'll get.
