Hi Charles,
Curt Arndt has researched this finish and determined that it was known as
"Butler(s) chrome". I have asked a number of plating specialists about this
finish but they avow all knowledge.
I recently had a set of teeth re-plated and then, after agonizing over it
for a while and doing a few experiments, gave the polished chrome a light
bead blast.
Very pleased wit the results as the finished product looks exactly the same
as the NOS set on my concours gold car.
