Heritage hardware

The guy who helped make our old windows functional at Yukon Street told me how to restore the old window hardware.  Last night I boiled these paint covered pieces in TSP and it was so effective in removing the old paint.  I pulled each one out of the pan with tongs and scrubbed it with a wire brush and voila.

Won't these look nice on our restored windows?
