While I was cleaning up my Seeburg Celesta, I started cleaning the
sustain and soft pedals and related hardware.  I removed years of
grime and found out the black pedals were made of brass.

I polished them up and they look very nice, but I also got to wondering
if Seeburg had really intended them to be polished brass or if they
had been colored dark.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your time,
