Just my thought and not based in any personal experience, but how wrong can one go? After all we're only emulating impoverished "rankers" trying to take some of the polish off a white helmet while using the materials immediately to hand-- tea, coffee, mud or worse. My biggest fear would be to damage the cork body of an expensive repro (or of an original which of course shouldn't be touch in the first place). Don't most reproductions have plastic shells?

You know I have a repro helmet which I bought a few years ago. I have no idea what it's made of. But one thing I'll say over the years is that through natural "aging" in the rarefied air of my home it's kind of looking well "teaey". That's the kind of color the helmet looks like in some places. I figure in about 5 years it'll look like the Earl Grey brand....
