So like I said it is a Sweet Heart #5 1/4 , it is pretty rough. The handle was broken and was glued back together buy the previous owner and is pretty rusted. Should I try and refinish i or hang it on the wall?

Pictures would help.
Also does it have any cracks or other breaks?
A poorly repaired handle can be fixed.

Sell it to jim, he's looking for a SW era 5 1/4 :)
Early SW era preferred. I want to put a low knob on it.Quote:

Just part of the living and learning experience.
