It almost looks like this 1918 Blue Racer was originally nickel plated. Now I’m wondering if I should re-plate it or just paint it..

It’s looking like a candidate for a re-plate so far. This is after its first bath, will continue cleaning/polishing on the morrow.

Here’s a couple of old Vibroplex Bugs. A 1912 model X and a 1919 number 4. I wonder how many great conversations those old guys must’ve had with these back in the day!
