For the fire back, black lead is what you need. It has been around for many years and is still a very effective rejuvenator. As a child I had the job of black leading my grandmother's hearth and oven. You can buy it he http://tinyurl.com/59x2g2 And this is what the finish looks like: http://www.nevillegriffiths.co.uk/black_lead_finish.htm The coals probably need replacing. |

The fire back is some sort of asbestos-like material - moulded a bit fibrous. |
