Quite a few years ago I used to renovate old furiture and to antique new brass fittings used ammonia. You just need to expose the fitting to ammonia gas so a small cup of ammonia and a plastic bag to form a tent does the trick. Dosn't give the almost black finnish you got with vinegar but gives the brass a nice patina.

UK based which dosn't help you guys in the States, but I buy off Weaver about once a month so if anyone in the UK wants Weaver tools I can supply

Hi, I have a Singer 45B6BC, cylinder 16 inch arm machine, very powerfull and a much better build quality than modern Chinese machines, but it dos'nt have a walking foot. I fitted a wheel foot which helps but no way will it feed skirts with fleece on. It will put in a padded seat and make up doubled and stitched offbillets but for saddle making with a modern machine you realy need a unison feed.
