Default 1930 Stainless steel grill shell and cowl band
My grill shell has 4 extra holes in it. Don't know why. Holes are about 3/8" in diameter. These are extra holes. Not the original ones.

The Cowl band needs a rough spot fixed.

Does any one know of a person/Company that fixes 85 year old stainless steel in the Midwest? Cost is the smaller of the two issues that include great work.

Do a search on stainless restoration. I think you will find an answer.

My only guess is aux lighting of some sort.

For polishing, try businesses that also do plating as they have to remove dents and polish parts as part of the plating process.

If the 4 extra holes are on the front surface, they might be from a stone guard installation in the past.
