Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I cleaned the frame and fork.
It appears that at one time the head tube was painted and someone scraped the paint off.
When they did it, they scraped through layers of plating.
Even after some cleaning and polishing, I could not leave the head tube like it was.
I found out that Rustoleum is a close enough match for me, so I painted the head tube.
