Knut Hesterberg Propeller Table- to polish or not to polish?  

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Knut Hesterberg propeller table. It's in good shape, minus some surface scratches I believe were done by the previous owner in a failed attempt to repair less significant scratches. The scratches exceed what I would call age appropriate patina. Fortunately they are just on one side of the aluminum base.

Should I leave it as is, or should I put some work into it and bring it to a nice polish? I'm looking for a general consensus. I plan on selling it in the future, so it goes beyond my personal preference and into the realm of what the market wants.

I've attached a picture to show the severity... or lack thereof.

Any experience/info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Josh
