Last weekend I picked up an old Stanley No. 9 1/2 block plane for $2.00. It was in decent shape and at the time, I bought it only because for $2.00, I figured I could put it to some use.
After doing a little research, it appears to have some vintage value, so I wanted to do some minor restoration. What should I use for general cleaning to avoid damaging or removing the jappanning? Most of it appears intact, so I don't want to risk removing any of it.
Any help?
