Finish is dull
spotty and dirty...
However the color and grain looks good.
To start I take the hinges and soak them for 20 minutes in denatured alcohol to loosen up the black residue. Then I use an old toothbrush to remove the residue, nice and clean!
For the inside of the lid I used 0000 steelwool and Homer Formby's Lemon Oil. Making sure I stayed away from the Edison Decal I soaked the steelwool with the oil and began rubbing everthing down with small circular motions. Stopping every few minutes to check my progess and and more oil, I rub the lid for about half an hour. Everything came pretty clean. Not perfect, but much better than it was.
