I had promied myself - No More nickle plated projectile Lamps !

But as ever here we are with a plated 4.5". I bothered because it has the later wartime reduced width rotating band.
I have only come across one other of these. So a week of removing the plating I expect. I think a chaps enitials are on one side.
At least the marking s are good.
Now who made it, haven't looked it up yet ~
The wooden base made to fit is actually half decent, if anyone can use it drop me a note.

It's looking better, most of the nickel is off but some remains, the adhesion was still good.
I'm going to try the vinegar soak as this is claimed to weaken the nickel plating on things.
I'm rather skeptical though. When I read on line over night is enough maybe, I'm thinking a week ~
It's rather bright, that can be toned down later. The surface is scratched up but this some what give the look of
the machined surface that was polished. This I expect to improve as it goes along, if the vinegar actually does anything at all.
