Plating Antique Sidelights
Posted by admin on May 5th, 2009 at 07:59am
Hello, I have 2 Jon Brown Sidelights for a 1914 model T that need to be restored. I tried to polish the reflectors in the inside of the lamp to restore their shine, but the finish was so thin I wore down through the coating to the metal which appears to be brass. The reflectors are soldered inside the lamps and it would be very difficult to disassemble the lamps to remove the reflectors to re-plate. I assume that the plating was silver. My question is, what would the easiest, least expensive method to restore these sidelights?
Thank you,
Glenn
