On the other hand, where would it have gone w/o the catch can?

Just a thought...Using a propane torch and some silver-solder you might be able to "tin" them, and then polish them a little. I'm not sure what would keep them from tarnishing later, but maybe a squirt of clear coat or maybe just some silicone spray on a rag would work as well.
