I have a quick question for the group:  the 1908 cast iron stove one of my
historic houses is rusting.  It is in a home without climate control, which
I trying to improve, but in the meantime, what would be the best way to
clean and preserve this?  I can't afford a professional conservator, so I'm
looking for a simple, cost effective method that I can do myself.  Nothing
fancy, just enough to keep the rust from doing too much damage.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give!
