Was at the boat this past weekend (sad to see her up on jackstands with mounds of snow over her deck!) and brought home a brass oil lamp we inherited with the boat.
The globe is spotless but the brass oil reservoir, gimbals, wall mount, etc are severely tarnished. I don't think it's "pitted" since I ran my fingers over it and it seems smooth enough, just darkened. I'd like to get it back to it's gleaming self and wasn't sure what the best procedure would be. I've heard (possibly on this list) that ketchup is a great brass polish. I tried it on one spot but it didn't seem to shine anything up. Is this not the right way to go or do I just need more elbow (finger?) grease? Any ideas?? Steve - waiting to get back in the water and go sailing!
