Peter KaszubskiBrasso will help but Mike H did some great restoration on those perhaps he will chirp in.

Tim PooveyHi Larry,
There are a lot of things you could use, but my vote goes to Maas polishing crème.
Good Luck,
Tim

Michael WeifordLarry,
Maas is great but a bit on the expensive side. I use Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream, you should be able to find it at an automotive store and it works great.

Mike HodgeIf the lacquer is off and you are down to solid brass then any good polish works. Taking lacquer off requires work as well as method.
I've used Brasso and Never Dull.
