De-Rust advice needed

Posted by apb (in NY) on Friday, February 17, 2006 at 8:41AM :

I found a 1947 New York State license plate in a barn yesterday. It is more rust than metal at this point.

I wish to display it, since it and I were both made the same year. What's the least damaging way to remove the rust so that I can paint it?

Thanks. APB
