I'm sure it did. But Naval Jelly is a very old product and not very safe.
There are better, safer, preparations.
I've got a friend who runs an antique auto restoration business. He says

There is a product called Whink Rust Stain Remover that I've used for years
on small rust spots. You can get it at WalMart.
