[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 82058, member: 878"]Thanks, all, for the responses. You have confirmed what I thought. As for the baking soda and toothpaste comments, I'm a bit undecided. Some have made convincing arguments with opposite conclusions. "Baking soda and aluminum will do a good job but will remove more silver than any other method." "Mild toothpaste can be gentler on silver than most silver polishes." I'm also thinking I will experiment with the magenta, pink and turquoise on the bobeche absent one. Perhaps add a sunshine yellow and/or deep red. The winners will go on the complete sticks which shall appear on eBay as [I][B][U][COLOR=#660033]Genuine[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff00ff]Early American[/COLOR] [COLOR=#006633]Faux Victorian[/COLOR][COLOR=#660033] Extremely RARE [/COLOR][COLOR=#a64dff]Vintage[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]Candlesticks.[/COLOR][/U][/B][/I][COLOR=#ff0000] [/COLOR] Anyone want to wager they will attract at least 22 bids and have 114 watchers?[/QUOTE]
