Hi,
I am restoring a late 1936 Deluxe car. The light switch is very scuffed. The steering column is Russet Brown. Is the switch Brown or Black? If it's black any suggestions appreciated for making the black presentable again.
Thanks and Happy, Healthy Holidays to all.

Brown or as close as you can get it to match the color of the steering wheel/column....
