I recently acquired this Alfred Dunhill Cast Iron Floorstand Ashtray, designed By Adrian Scarff Antique NY for Dunhill. The ebay seller is some antique shop that hasnt responded to additional questions about it's history thusf far. All I know is that its cast iron, and the cup appears to be brass.
I know I've seen past threads about restoration of old items, like this and figured I'd ask the collective for any insight/advice on restoration (or just leave alone). Thus far it seems like most methods for restoring cast iron work better with small items like pots and pans, rather than a table level standing ash tray.
Thanks in advance for any insight/advice.
