    Finally got one

    Old Vintage Everlast Swivel, Does anyone have any ideas what to soak this in, in order to get the coating off that someone applied years ago ?

      Do you have an idea what to use to take off the coating they used along time ago without ruining the swivel ???

        That looks to be ordinary paint, I don't ever recall one of these being painted when new. Cosmoline used to be the product of choice for protecting machined parts that would be warehoused for a while. I would be surprised that they used that tho.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmol...ure%20to%20air. I would imagine that ordinary paint remover would do the job safely

          Your right, i took a heat gun to it and it does seem like ordinary paint, So i'll head to the hardware store and see what i can find for paint removal but i don't want to use something to strong, BTW i have many new york swivels with the 1 inch solid ball and some were painted at the factory with the same color, looks to maybe be power coated

            Yeah from my brain and the way it works (always analyzing things) and after removing the paint the ball-hook isn't the original one, i surmised that they probably wore it out at the eyebolt shank or it wore out at the s-hook eyebolt contact area, But i'm positive it's not original, i bet you can guess what swivel it came out of.
