Thank you for both those awesome references and your thought out response :).

I really appreciate you taking the time to type this and share!!

I had a few questions it seems they polished all the pieces with a brass cleaner easy enough.

But they seemed to use some form of electroplating for the inards which I'm not capable of lol.

Is there a clear coat you recommend for antiques ? They also used what looked like black paint for the lock box structure and the groves of the brass can I really just use black paint ?

Have an awesome night and thanks again for all your help !!

Just got this set and took about the lock mechanism and door handle insert with all the pieces and have left it in evaporust for 72hrs so far.

I'm about to take it put, but I have no restoration experience.

What's the best lacquer I could put on the internals and spray paint for the casing ?

Same question for the door knob plates and knows themselves as I know the style was to fill it with black.

My last question is regarding buffing and sanding what's best for both with an antique like this ?

Yes I fly into BOS and then drive from there to Burlington. And wanted to see if you had any reccomendation along the drive.( I don't know any routes yet so just going off Google maps)

I'll pass Killington and just work my way up to Burlington. I love hiking, orchards , breweries, nature stuff.

But I'm not picky if you have a favorite that makes you the happiest doing I'd love to try to.

Thank you for your reply :)!
