Not 1920s or 1930s
But 1960s & 1970s

I used Simonize in the late 60's and early 70's. It was definately a work out.

I have some old metal polish I picked up at an estate sale somewhere. It's solidified & I'm not sure what to add to mix it up again. It looks like dried out Brasso. Any idea what they used in Brasso... mineral oil maybe?
