Looks much better than the one I saw on CL here. Poor thing, I feel sorry for it.

My bronze White rotary is about finished. I didn't try to make the bronze plating super shiny, just cleaned and gently polished it. I obtained the missing parts, cleaned and lubed all the internals and it now runs very smoothly. It will sit in a place of honor in my collection.

Such a lovely design on the WR! Bronze doesn't rust, so is the term applied just to the color?

No, not just the color. The iron castings were bronze plated. With age they gain this lovely patina.

Well, you sure saved this old girl from a terrible demise to a place of honor. You should be proud.
