Mark,

How were you able to determine the base material was stainless steel?
Aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper are all non magnetic.

It seems to be stainless steel.      However the surface has 49 years of 
scum built up on it, but the chrome looks like it could be brought back to 
life if it is done right.

Would this be a good area for Flitz, and or Simichrome,  with a lot of elbow

grease.
