Also, as you can see, some of them are rusty, or otherwise dirty? What's a good way of cleaning them?
Evaporust. You can get it at Harbor Freight.

Question about the Evaporust--do you put anything on the parts to protect them afterward? I'm thinking flat pieces would be easy to polish, but I think I might really go nuts if I had to polish a ruffler. :)
It says on the bottle that if you pull it out of the Evaporust and let it air dry it is good for two weeks of protection.
I lightly oil my stuff with sewing machine oil. keeps it shiny so far.
