These are original and really pretty good shape.
AND NO i am not leaving them off for the "smooth look".

Next time she saw me I had the wrags on the end of my elbows just scrubbing away. Needless to say she didn't see the humor.

I've seen steel wool and Coke work.
I think that Brasso might work okay too, but I've never tried it. | | |
