That's something I'd like to know. I looked at bench polishing machines, but there's a huge range of speeds. For the fixed speeds, about 3000 rpm seems popular. But what size wheels are most used? If we assume a 4" wheel on a 3000rpm bench machine, then on my rotary tool with a 1" wheel, I need to run at 4x speed (i.e. 12,000rpm) to get the same wheel surface speed. -
So this is where I’m up to. Just using saliva and a piece of paper towel wrapped around a small plastic stick. It’s still not a thing of great beauty but better than it was! I’ll go over it again but it almost feels like all the staining is in the top layer of lacquer, so it might be interesting to try and remove that without destroying what’s underneath. Somehow 🫤. -
You're right... This is now for the next order with a case back gasket 🥲 For now I'll use the cousins gaskets and do my own experiments with what I have. -

I remembered seeing some forks with this kindergarten design, but couldn't remember which makers did them. At least the pallet jewels are in "correctly", and not in slits 180 degrees around- those are basically impossible to work on. It does look like someone had a go at one of the fork horns with a file, possibly because they or another mic-macked the banking pins and decided Elgin put too much metal on the fork, so not sure this fork is viable in its current state. -
Wow, late for a full plate then. Maybe they gave up on the fancy parts after 1900 when their production was amped way up.
