This one should sell cheaply, on ebay now. I'd be OK polishing off the "patina" on this one.

Damn! What a shame that someone would let this beauty get to this state. Absolutely some love needed.
Amazingly poor shape, and it's up to $227 USD too !
I'd be worried about the corrosion eating thru if the auctions description is correct in saying that it's aluminum.
Leave the patina. That lens served on the Titanic and is worth a fortune.
if the glass was okay..I wouldn't care how the outsides looked..I might even paint it..like Olive drab or something..or orange
I night strip all the remaining paint, clean the body, paint it with zinc (very thin spray) and leave it be or paint it black.
.
It is obviously aluminum.
Nothing a good sandblasting won't fix. If you could ever unscrew the elements, which are surely fused.
Great example of item in excessive entropy state... Great for a zombie movie prop... Don't bother trying to restore, it is in rare condition as it is... :-)
