If it is one of the early escutcheons that someone has polished to bright brass and you're wanting to restore the "patina," I suggest a light coating of Van Dyke Brown toning lacquer. After spraying, you can rub out the high spots if you wish, for a very neat appearance.
If it is a 1940 steel escutcheon that was plated brass, light coats of antique brass spray paint (available in hardware stores) will make it look like new.
