I have replaced Perko with Perko.

Interestingly, a  LOT of their items are still available, and identical to
what they made 50 years ago. (read, not much better)  Also Interestingly, I
discovered lots of their stuff was chrome plated zinc! 

 

I think maybe they started out making hardware for cheap outboard boats.

Around salt water, Perko is notorious for pitting and falling apart.  It's
usually chrome plated brass.  Most owners replace with solid stainless
parts.

If they are bronze, they might look nice if you can remove all the chrome
plating, maybe with a wire wheel and then a buffing wheel. If they're brass,
it's probably not worth the bother, as brass doesn't seem to hold up as
well.

So I have these pitted Perko chrome hasps.  Since I do not like to throw
things out if they can be refreshed, I was wondering if anyone has had
success sanding and repainting/refinishing them...
