Featured Continental German Silver Bowl

Let it melt, then mop up the residue with a nice piece of sponge cake.

 

Way too wide for ice cream.

 

MANY Scoops, multi flavored, nuts (if not allergic), jimmies (rainbow sprinkles), hot fudge drizzled ALL OVER, WHIPPED CREAM, and a couple of CHERRIES (not for me!)..... INDULGE THYSELF!

 

I use a worn toothbrush and Wrights silver polish to get the deep crevices clean. Seems to work for me .

 

Not for those who love ice cream.

 

I’ll try that first and then the ammonia.

Also, this bowl is 8 inches across! You’d be eating a hell of a lot of ice cream!!

 

Hi,
Is there ever too much ice cream??? I miss the ice cream store down further on the shore. Used to make a banana split with 9 and I mean 9 scoops of ice cream and all the toppings to go with it. By the way it had two bananas also. I think is cost 13 dollars but big enough for two people. I ate a whole one once on a bet. I won but I doubt if I could eat one now.

I researched the manufacturer: M.H. Wilkens & Sohne, and found the serial number for my dish!

Serial # 238007 corresponds to a manufacturing date of 1915!

 

Can always share with someone!!!!

 

HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT! GET OUT OF MY THREAD AT ONCE!

You NEVER share ice-cream with ANYBODY!! I'm SHOCKED that you would even suggest such a thing!!

 

I want to thank daveydempsey for his tip on using Ammonia to clean silver. I had two Italian 83% silver coins: 1860 50 Centesimi and 1884 1 Lira. They had both toned very dark, almost black. I used an over the counter 10% Ammonia bottle from the supermarket and using a cotton Q-Tip the dark tarnish quickly dissolved. I rinsed off with water and they look MUCH better.

I had previously heard that Ammonia would turn silver black so to test that theory I put a common 1940's American 90% silver dime into a small jar of Ammonia. It's been in there for 24 hours and I don't see any change in it's toning.

 

If you believed every bloody thing that you read, silverware would turn black at the drop of a hat. I really wish I knew where all these crazy ideas started from? Sounds silly to me.

We wouldn't be able to see photographs of your coins, would we? They sound interesting!!

 

Those ideas are always started by someone called They, who must be an attention seeker.
