[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 338019, member: 6444"]I always start with a slightly damp rag, then use cleaners only if I need them and pick the cleaner based on what caused the stain. The nail doesn't look that old and not hand-forged - you can still buy machine made square cut nails which is what that looks like. The feet on yours make me think somewhat later than 1850 (i.e. 1870 or so) assuming they are original but I think anywhere in 1840 - 1880 is possible.[/QUOTE]
