Hello all. I recently bought my first "classic" camera - a Kodak No. 2 Autographic Folding Brownie. The leather is in reasonably good shape, but the metal parts aren't as good as they probably could be. There is some corrosion (rust) in some small patches, and it just generally looks dull. It seems like there's a light layer of tarnish on the non-black parts, and if it can be removed without damaging the color it seems like it'd really improve the look of the camera. I don't really have any metal cleaning experience, and obviously I don't want to do anything that would DAMAGE the camera...So very cautious. Does anyone have any general advice for cleaning/polishing the metal on these type cameras? Thanks! |
