sorry guys havnt responded in a couple days doing that thing that pays the bills. I am going to take some bar keepers friend and 00 steel wool to the ash catcher and legs and see if I can get some shine back into them I will clean the outside with some dawn and a scotch brite pad and I don't know about the wheels they look as they were red in color but I don't know how to get the color back out will research cleaners I guess any idea?

It would not surprise me if those wheels are/were red. Seems before 1958, the wheels had either red or white rims. The 0000 steel wool always works like a charm on the porcelain and the pan and legs. Also Mothers Mag polish really cleans up the legs and the pans. The legs look like they are steel.

Wood bleach and linseed oil bring the original paint back on rusted metal. Would be your best bet on the wheels.
