Philco 44 - Restoration & Authenticity
#3

Assuming you have the flat-face 44B cathedral, here is how it should look:

Take Chuck's advice on the toning lacquer. This is the only way to duplicate the original look. As a general rule, you can't buy toning lacquer in local stores, you have to order it via mail or Internet. Here are two sources:

http://www.mohawk-finishing.com/
http://www.touchupdepot.biz/index.php/cPath/10_44_59

The first link, Mohawk, is the most well known product, although the site sells mainly to businesses and requires a large minimum order. The second link sells Master's Magic brand toners, and has no minimum order.
