[Shop-talk] Brass Polish

[Bob Spidell]

Listers,

My Dad has a 1918 Seagrave pumper fire engine he's restored.  The machine has brass all over the place--including a 
huge, honeycomb-style radiator and, of course, a brass bell--and he has a devil of a time keeping the brass polished.  
He's tried all kinds of polish, but the one that works best is called Tarnite.  Unfortunately, it appears Tarnite has 
been out of production for several years and is pretty much unobtanium (there's a guy trying to sell a quarter-full can 
on eBay, but that's not worth the trouble).

If anyone knows of a source, or has a stash they'd be willing to part with for a fair price please let me know.  There's 
some photos of the engine--and a few of our other projects--here:  http://home.comcast.net/~bspidell

Thanks,
Bob
