<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 1803036, member: 5515&quot;]Thank you for all the warm comments on my first post. Here comes the second one! I was able to finish polishing this one last night (still a little bit of work to be done on stubborn tarnish spots). This took some work to get polished. The entirety of the top was a dark yellow (not a tarnish yellow, more of a sticky yellow) and I think this is what happened:</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this item spent a good portion of it&#039;s life stored near or above the stove/oven. I&#039;m sure everyone here has dealt with this before when something gets a coating of kitchen grease on it from being around the stove. Well multiple that by a few decades and a thick stubborn crust formed on it that took some time and patience to remove.</p><p><br /></p><p>On to the details. Item number 2 of 4 below is an aquatic themed Italian <font size="6"><strike><font face="Book Antiqua">coin</font></strike></font> silver tray <u><b>edit: not coin silver: 800 fineness</b></u> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> with fish/dolphins on the handles (don&#039;t judge me, are these dolphins??). This tray measures 28&quot; from handle to handle, and 16 1/2&quot; width. The tray is marked 800 in the center, and has an additional mark of 800 with a star, a 23 and AL on the back edge. Total weight of the tray is 6 pounds. I hope you enjoy this one, and remember there&#039;s still two more to go!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]240555[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240556[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240557[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240558[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240559[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240560[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240561[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240562[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240564[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
