<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cincimatti, post: 24715874, member: 16004&quot;]Back paddle! I read the label on Dawn - sodium this, sulfate that. I switched this time to a boiling pot of water and Ivory soap. What a difference! The patina is absolutely unaffected after a good rinse and a soak in acetone. I fear that Dawn is too harsh to use. This method works better. Just boil &#039;em for a few minutes in the soapy water and 120 years of axle grease slides right off nicely in the acetone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1910-S does cartwheels in the light now!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fosu2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/380284715_10227388831339468_156570961857716292_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=813123&amp;_nc_ohc=qCU7yNO3ScoAX9iEV78&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fosu2-1.fna&amp;cb_e2o_trans=q&amp;oh=00_AfCmf9vddACSn7612goMODVasOrT0qZXapp908dM4rbg5w&amp;oe=651215F4" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fosu2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/380892124_10227388831459471_8106445158099079470_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=813123&amp;_nc_ohc=FjUr3AooARgAX85_1Ga&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fosu2-2.fna&amp;cb_e2o_trans=q&amp;oh=00_AfCyGLiiI2fWT4NPIWsHGja5GQe7wGmO0A6KYd8TKg2wKQ&amp;oe=6513947E" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fosu2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/380289357_10227388831579474_6295049693320058464_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=813123&amp;_nc_ohc=CWn4c4GyjAsAX9pm0Ju&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fosu2-1.fna&amp;cb_e2o_trans=q&amp;oh=00_AfCsYTEbw7C0JSz6XIFzSCyG9-IfM4OjDjQ0Ge32eX6xPw&amp;oe=6512D4BD" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had concerns that the 1910-S had been cleaned. Now, when compared to one of the BU memorials, my skepticism is placated. It has <u>not</u>! It was just allowed to sit in a folder for 70 years. I&#039;m thinking it went in quite shiny and came out like a robin&#039;s egg - only copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
