                                             First version of Old Vintage Key: You can see the rust
How I cleaned the rust from the vintage key?
For the first time, I tried cleaning up the rust or bit of age from the old Indian key. I applied MD 40 and then scrubbed with steel wool. Later I also kept in a Cola solution. Again I scrubbed to remove few of the rust and dirt.

So, how does it look after all the rough treatment. Does it has a bit of glossy look or does it look the same? If you're interested to own this new avatar, then you can send across a message.

I'm always available by phone, so it's better to call me at 9379735082.

Vintage Bicycle Lamp

Vintage Kerosone Cycle Lamp

Old Cycle Lamp
One of my latest treasures from the flea market. Most of my posting are all about vintage keys and this one is unique. This piece is intact without any dents or holes. The only thing that bores the age is the rust. This could be done with a good piece of scrubbing and paint re-coating.

Vintage Brass Back scratcher

Brass Back Scratcher

I bought this unique back scratcher from a Kashmiri fella. This brass back scratcher is good to reach out the hard to reach itch points. I don't know much about the value of this back scratcher. Both ends has different designs. One end has a hand claw shape and the other of a rabbit.

I use it as a paper weight in my living room. Most people turn it around and ask me the purpose. I ask if they feel like itching.

The scratcher is approx 29 cm long and almost 3cm wide at the scratch point.

The "hand" portion has the artistic shape of a typical scratcher. More than its use, it's a unique art for your living room.

what you see in the photo is not for bidding. I can get fresh piece or get used iron box from flea market.
