went to a antique and collectables fair today and picked up a tin which seemed in good order, slight wear to the lid through cleaning but no splits around the hinges, on closer examinatiation it has an amount of red spotting which to me looks like rust, I thought brass would not rust ???, should I attempt to clean this off or leave as is ?, if it needs cleaning to preserve it what would be the recommended treatment ?, just to add this is for my own collection, I paid £25 gbp.,
kind regards,
John.
