I'm not sure what type of metal it is made of.

We'd need more information. What make and model is the machine the tone arm is on? A picture would be good as well.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I have attatched three pictures that hopefully will help.

Looks like nickel-plated pot-metal.
Could try hand-polishing with Flitz, Liberty Metal Polish, or the pink German stuff in a tube ( yellow & red box ... Simichrome ?).
Be careful not to drop and knock it on something while you're working on it - old pot-metal is delicate / brittle.
