Re: E&J lamp
If there is someone close to you that does plating, they could strip the nickle off.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: E&J lamp
Couple of choices - Muratic acid. It's messy and could be dangerous. Google stipping nickle plating from brass and you'll find you-tube videos on how to do it. It's addressed mainly at removing the plating from plumbing fixtures, but essentially is the same process.
Another choice is to simply paint over what should be painted, after light sanding and priming. To get down to brass on the brassy parts, you can simply sand them carefully, with progressively finer grades of paper, then buff/polish to perfection.
If you need to disassemble the lamp to replate the reflector, then you should get it to a plater who can reverse the process and return bare/clean brass to you for reassembly and final finishing. Note- if you want a plater to handle it for you, they will want it disassembled.
