polishing silver

Non of these numbers matter, the world was and is silent. It’s only when Israel strikes back and delivers a crippling blow to Hizbollah, do Biden and Macron demand a ceasefire. they want Israel to lose. they are evil

When I picked Aytan up, he wanted to sit on Miss Dions’ lap. She was very happy to oblige. She is an amazing teacher.

A friend has two Scrub jays on her balcony. that is because her husband feeds them, they are pretty, also pretty obnoxious

What to do when I am very anxious and the world is falling apart. Polish the silver. I have an old silver cellar with this spoon from my grandmother. I ordered another set just for the blue cobalt insert that protects the silver.

Salt helps silver corrode at a faster rate, although I’ve had this for years, and before that my mother did, I don’t think there has been salt on this for a while. I also realized that this is sterling silver, not plated, so maybe with enough elbow grease I can remove it?

much better but not gone. Some day when I am anxious again, I polish some more.

Of course the tarnish on the cellar is also pretty deep. I worked on it some. Not a lot,

I polished the old one, on the right and the new one, that came with the glass insert. It didn’t come with a spoon, which may explain the lower price than other similar items on eBay. It also has a cover. One set I saw had both styles with glass and spoons, for a lot more money.

See how perfectly the insert fits into my original salt cellar? I checked the hallmark, although these are very similar – not made by the same company. the one on the left is thiner, I’m wondering if it is silver-plated. it is in good condition.

There are some tarnish spots on the rim that I still may work on.

the coasters ( I have two) are from a different set. Also needed some polish. These two are a salt and pepper shaker. You can see by the feet that the salt shaker is from the same set as the cellar. I cleaned them out, no more salt or pepper inside, gave them a nice shine as well.

Here is the set, nice and polished there is plenty more to work on.
