Good point, yes all mating surfaces have to be clean, bare metal, and a 75 year old steel tube would be rusty inside.

Could probably clean it with a small sanding drum on Dremel, but like you said welding would be best.

As you also said, rivets, or screws would certainly work, but it might be harder to make such a repair invisible. Epoxy or JB Weld would work too.
