Leave it alone. A tiny bit of household oil on the moving parts and that's it. I wouldn't say a 13 inch round bolster Latama is "super rare" but they are definitely not the most common of vintage Italian stilettos either.

Store it in the open position if you want.
It doesn't help spring life one way or the other.
