I'm into restoration of the drawer of a particularly
dirty Ampico A grand.   The escutcheon plates surrounding
the various controls are loaded with 70 years of dirt
and grime that just will not come out.

What is the plating material on these old plates?

What techniques do others use to clean and restore these
plates to their original brilliance?

All suggestions and advice gratefully received.

Thanks.
