Say, what happened to the chrome on the fork? That was an option on these.

Thanks Kurt - I could not have done it without your help.
As I said in the edit above - I painted the fork black, because from all appearances, it was a very old service fork, intended to be painted.
The chrome was not polished as it would have been on the original item before the blue-haired lady's scrape with the Packard. It was
very rough, unpolished chrome, with verdigris from the copper bleeding through in spots. You can trust me when I say it looks better in black.
