<p>[QUOTE="AtTheBeach, post: 333296, member: 6819"]My flatware is from 1895-ish and the knife blades are silverplated and quite corroded, some rusted. The blades bear the makers mark of George Shiebler. I’ve read that replacing the blades with stainless reduces value and that you can’t replate. But they are so unappealing this way and it keeps me from using the silver. (I think my guests would worry they’d need a tetanus shot after dinner!) Has anyone here replaced blades and did you regret it? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
