There may have been a coating on top of that finish to protect it as unfinished brass would tarnish fairly quickly in those conditions. I would suspect that the white areas that you&#039;re seeing are issues with that outer coating/finish. If this is the case, the tarnish removal methods may not give you the results that you&#039;re looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a jeweler&#039;s loupe, maybe you will be able to tell if there&#039;s a finish and protective coating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
