Thanks for the photos, Patrick. That will be a big help.

Yes, the odds are quite high the hardware plating is cadmium. Very common up to the end of the war when zinc plating started to replace it. You can simulate the cadmium plating today with a good zinc plating. Hard to tell the difference when done right. Most shops just go for a quick galvanizing job which leaves an entirely different finish, that frosty dust bin crystal sort of look.
