These plates are being sold in authentic vintage, uncleaned condition.

They feature a heavy, naturally aged vintage tarnish and patina across the surfaces as shown in the listing photographs.We have deliberately left them unpolished so collectors who prefer the deep, warm historic character of aged brass can enjoy them as-is. However, if you prefer a high-shine bright gold finish, they should clean up beautifully with standard brass polish (such as Wright's or Brasso).

No major dents or deep structural damage—just honest vintage character.
