[Boatanchors] Daka Ware Knob Polishing

[Al Parker]

Hi Ben,
	To the best of my knowledge & experience, neither were ever painted by 
the factory.  I've had, and/or worked on, a bunch of each series. 
Dishwashing liquid, then paste wax, usually does all they need for me. 
I have seen some that were painted, it was peeling off, and I had to 
finish that job.
73,
