Bill, Herbert Keane's book "Restoring Antique Tools" published by (I think)
Astragal Press a few years ago might have some suggestions for you. Scott
Grandstaff, too, might have some experience!

I've been working on a level for my Hilton tool chest and while the 
mechanics involved are not too challenging, I have no knowledge of how 
to blend old and new parts to get an acceptable appearance.  I'm torn 
between making something too new and something too faked.  I'll do my 
best to please me; no profit involved either way.
