cleaning tinnies

[Halo1981]

hi,

i wont lie from the start i have recently purchased 6 tinnies which are really mucky does anyone know what i can use to clean them up i wont lie i have full intentions on selling them as they was not what i was told they was

[Gunny Hartmann]

They look OK as they are!....

Cleaning kills the history of every single piece in my opinion. I would let them as they are.

Not a good idea. You will only ruin the value. Its like your saying you buy an ss dagger that has wear on the blade and you decide to polish it. It's never a good idea to obstruct antiques.

I agree - leave these alone, they are fine.

What were you told about them.........?

[BOB COLEMAN]

I will add to the consensus of opinion. Don't clean them!
