A friend once proudly showed me ALL the hinges, doorknobs, faceplates, latches, etc etc from all the doors, windows, and
even lights, switches, and outlet plates of his 1900 house.... and how he cleverly buffed off every bit of the "tarnish",
right down to bare steel or brass. The steel parts were already starting to rust, before reinstallation. I think he ended
up painting it all black.

It is not a hard finish to replicate and can be fun to do.
