Buy my snake oil. I reckon I'll keep all of my old strings, then shove them in the compost heap for a week or so, then start selling 'relic'ed strings'. Just the thing for that vintage tone...

Your turnaround could be faster than that. It looks like it's simply been left in coke.
I tried cleaning some old tuners in coke over night once and this is exactly how they turned out - eaten through to the nickel.

It's a very poor relic job. I mean how is the depressed section in the F supposed to have been rubbed away over time. Mugs.
