   very old wrench; To preserve or Restore?

   From: estevew@centurytel.net   
      
   I recently found this old adjustable wrench   
   http://home.centurytel.net/Ingrid38//MachinistPics/OldWrench1.jpg   
      
   It is complete and appears that it would be fully functional with a little   
   bit of penetrating oil and some cleaning of the treads. However, I don't   
   want to do anything that would effect it's "collector" value.   
      
   I'm not planning to sell it or use it, I just want to preserve it for   
   display.   
      
   Can anyone offer some suggestions?? Or direct me to a Group that know   
   something about tool preservation??   
      
   Thanks,
