Picked up this old copper-plated pourer for $3 from the Op Shop in Beaudesert where I volunteer.

I love old things but have never collected much because I’m always moving around. Maybe that’s going to change. Who knows? Anyway I got the Brasso out and gave it a first go. Will go over it again, maybe with cotton buds around the wooden bits. I also want to oil the wood, but better read about that first. I know I have linseed oil somewhere, because I used that with methylated spirits to oil my first old Beale upright piano. But maybe other oils are more suitable. Any advice would be great, please!

These days I’m just writing about stuff in my little life. But in the past I wrote about creatives I met. You can find that in the Tag Cloud below.
