I’d like to thank everyone that helped me out with cleaning my fathers brass powder flask. I ended up just using vinegar to get the rust off. It cleaned it up and I lost the nice patina. Oh well, and least the rust isn’t there anymore. Where the rust was it looks more of a copper color now. Doesn’t bother me too much. The photos actually make it look worse. I’m having trouble with the little shutoff plate, it has some pitting and rust on it. Is there a way to get it off so I can clean it up? Or a replacement piece? I don’t want to try prying cause I don’t want to ruin it.
