A lot of the brass cylinders that were exposed were nickle-plated. Mine is still pretty shiny, a bit of work to clean but the nicle is pretty good or 85 years old.

Are you talking a cylinder off a pre-visble pump or the big one like a air operated 20,s Boyle-dayton uses?

A GOOD coat of lacquer will help keep the luster of polished brass. BUT over time it will have to be polished AGAIN.
