A friend knows a trick with Spic and Span that cleans it instantly, but I've not tried it. <br /><br />Most silver is much too elaborate and intricate; the pieces to be coveted are the heavy, plain hotel, train, airline, or institutional pieces. Your photo of the 3 plain, squat teapots shows perfect examples.<br /><br />There is a dealer (northeast corner of the building) at the St. Lawrence Antique Market (Front & Jarvis) on Sunday mornings who has lots of wonderful silverplate for give-away prices. My favourites are perfectly plain silver trays. Talk about elegance on a shoestring budget.<br /><br />Enjoying your posts....Square with Flairhttp://squarewithflair.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-7483784055355444342010-08-18T08:46:38.805-04:002010-08-18T08:46:38.805-04:00Il duce, I hope that you are making a new will, wi...Il duce, I hope that you are making a new will, with me as benificiary.
