Those look familiar...





Looks like you have a pair of very salvageable examples there. Take some fine bronze wool to the chrome (you'll be quite surprised at the condition underneath - Raleigh's chroming of the '50s took the cake for being amongst the hardiest), and Meguiars Scratch X to the paint - but be careful over any remaining pinstriping or lettering. That should do you.

I'll leave it to the Brooks folks to argue over the best suggestions as to taking care of the saddles; if they're hard and dry, a VERY thin coat of neetsfoot oil might help, if still supple, just go over them with some saddle soap to brighten them up. That's what I do, but for everyone who does it this way, there'll be another who swears against it...
