Ron, you might be right about perfect brown for the grill bars; they aren't all that dark, but stripping them brings them paler for sure.

In addition to the escutcheon, the trim, and the whole side that leads to the shoulders, seems to be darker.
That colour seems harder to strip out.

Here's the current progress. I stopped as I am out of steel wool. I think I was using 000,
