Hi all, For those who are still interested this looks like the full works, sorry its a bit mangled by transcription but if you have Internet you can go back to the original. There's also an e-mail address for enq. at the bottom. I had to crop it as it was too big for this circulation. > > You can also just type in "polished silver" on a > good > search engine such as ASK and see what comes up - > one > of them actually tells you how to re-plate (don't > try > this at home?) Might be good for mouthpieces. Silver and other Polished Metals - http://www.resource.gov.uk/information/advice/conserv08.asp <http://www.resource.gov.uk/information/advice/conserv08.asp http://www.resource.gov.uk/information/advice/conserv16.asp <http://www.resource.gov.uk/information/advice/conserv16.asp By Stephen Ball, Jaine Chandler and Peter Winsor Many metal objects carry high degree of finish that is intrinsic to their appeal. The more spectacular of these are made or plated with a precious metal, notably gold or silver, but many other metals are used in a polished or burnished condition. Although objects made from non-precious metals are less obviously 'valuable', they may have considerable historical or personal value. Coins and medals are examples of interesting and collectable objects that are not always composed of precious metals. This fact sheet concentrates on two principal examples: silver, because it is a commonly used precious metal that is at the same time fairly reactive, and thus frequently encountered polished metal objects. The techniques described here can often be adapted for other highly finished metal objects. If you are in any doubt then consult a conservator.
