<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 107544, member: 111&quot;]Can&#039;t imagine that anything would make nickel silver turn to the gold-tone of brass, but it does vary in the color from a white very close in color to silver (which also varies) to a very distinct pale yellowish tone - perhaps you are only seeing the wear on pieces with a brass base, the wear on nickel silver not as obvious.&nbsp; I am quite sure that my experience with Danish and other Scandinavian silverplate has only shown nickel silver at worn areas, whether bearing a two-tower marks or any other, but of course, I&#039;m in the U.S.&nbsp; Have given you examples of two-tower silver flatware with nickel silver bases from a period catalog and and one marked as such, as well as a marked holloware piece from a well-known and prolific Danish maker - more examples could easily be found.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very curious about the &#039;1 tower&#039; nickel silver, it&#039;s not a mark I&#039;ve ever run across, read about or heard mention of - would very much like to have an image to add to my research files...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
