Reluctant to side track this nostalgia trip, but FWIW, those tables are CAST IRON, not steel.

They did not have a 'finish'.

How are you 'removing the rust'?

When you get to the point that it is as far as you want to go, the Johnson's wax IS the thing to apply to it to prevent future rust.

I have a real fondness for old radio dramas. But I'm more interested in those a little more fantastical in nature. Like the already mentioned Lone Ranger, Shadow, and Green Hornet. Also Buck Rogers, Superman, Flash Gordon, etc. You can find a LOT of those old radio shows online for free now. Here's one site (I just checked and they have a ton of Fibber McGee & Molly episodes).

If you can't find what you're looking for for free in the internet, try this e-bay seller: http://shop.ebay.com/adamsotr/m.html?_n ... m=&_ipg=25 He has a great selection of radio programs for a buck a CD, with each containing multiple programs. Had to order the Straight Arrow one.

While we are running wildly off on a tangent

and speaking of Hornets I still recall an old joke of the day.
What do a Hudson car and the Hudson River have in common?

In both cases you "step down to get in them".........

Remember those Hudson ads?

Yep! Bathtub on wheels!:) Packards also come to mind.

For you youngsters who do not 'get' the Hornet connection, Hudson later produced a smaller version which was the 'Hornet model'. Sorta like a 'midsize car' which was percieved as small at that time!:D

How many remember 'Henry J's? Talk about an ego!!!:rolleyes:

Tangent reached infinity yet?;)
