Picked this a Chesterfield tin thermometer sign few days ago. The thermometer gauge is broken so it's really just a sign now, but the sign is in pretty good shape with just a little rust around the edges and one larger rust spot (about half dollar size) over part of the "They Satisfy" slogan at the bottom.

Not sure what I should use to polish it/clean it up... Brasso? Baby shampoo and water? Any suggestions?
Also, how tricky is it to replace the thermometer, and where can I find an original one? Thanks y'all.
