1920's Iron Restoration, Old Tool Restoration, Stop Motion Restoration

I had mixed feelings regarding this little Iron, I bought it over two
months ago but wasn’t too enthusiastic about restoring it. I loved the
character and design of this iron but due to the fact there were processes
used during the manufacturing which I new I couldn’t recreate I had my
doubts. The rust damaged surface on the base plate was a big problem
as I had no way to resurface it. I had initially thought maybe I could use
a high temperature chrome spray but I couldn’t find any so I settled on the
polished finish which doesn’t look too bad. Another problem I encounted
was the ceramic finish, I had bought the Titanium stick to fill an repair the
damaged parts but this didn’t work out the way I wanted so I had no choice
but to remove it and repaint.
I thought that once I had over come these little issues the rest would be
reasonably straight forward but one more thing had to go wrong. While
cleaning the generator the throttle lever broke off, I have looked on line
for a replacement but as yet I haven't found anything suitable. I will keep
looking and hopefully find something so I can finish it properly.
I feel very disappointed with the way this one ended but sometimes
that’s the way it goes. Hopefully in time I will have a short video ready
with the Iron working.
I hope you like the stop motion in this video, I have tried to add it just to
give a little bit more light hearted entertainment. Let me know what you
