<HTML>Pat how do you know its original? Say it’s a 1922 or 82 years old. It could have been refinished after twenty years or sixty years ago.
I would like to know what kind of paints the Stanleys used on their cars from day one.
I acquired a 1915 swing away wheel, it’s walnut. I refinished it with pure linseed oil.
The one that was on the car 1920, looks like it still has black paint, but it looks like it was applied over varnish as most of the paint is worn off. I’m not sure which was on it first.
