<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9770611, member: 37"]Would think the fittings steel with a brass wash. Think you either need to live with it as-is, strip off the rest of the brass, or paint a color you like. Only way I know to remove the handle caps cleanly is from the inside nails. Yes, you will disturb the paper inside. Why not just leave them alone? Part of the charm of these trunks is in showing their age..... IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
