Hello all,

I just had a telephone inquiry from an individual who
is working on restoring a child's wagon he used to
play with when he was young.

He is wondering what color he should paint the metal
parts of the wagon, including the handle, wheel rims,
wheel hubs, and other braces.  The wagon belonged to
his uncle originally and dates from about 1915.  He
was able to reconstruct the writing on the side of the
wagon which reads "Blue Streak Coaster."  The body is
wood, as are the wheels, which he described as "small
wooden wagon wheels."

Does anyone know what color the metal parts should be?

THANK YOU!
Kim Kenney
