Sweet Distillate. 

FYI, from a recent personal experience... getting the protective paper off the brass cover is not easy, but patience and acetone will do it. (my '85 Distillate fretless still had the paper on it too) The reward of course- the brass underneath shines like new!   

Good luck with your sale.
