<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 6820020, member: 16283&quot;]Ghopper- Is there any way you can find an original catalog page listing for the piece ? I know it sounds like a long shot,but I found an original 1883 Derby Silver Catalog online describing the original finish of a piece i recently acquired (cheat- i also found several photos of very well-preserved examples online-gold vermeil over silver plate).</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Is your &#039;silver metal&#039; a nickel plating,some kind of treated spelter,steel,iron ? Brass polish (if it&#039;s solid brass),but for caution&#039;s sake-you might want to tape off (mask) the &#039;silver&#039; section so as not to contaminate it w/the brass polish.</p><p>&nbsp; I know with your impeccable taste it&#039;s going to be a beautiful piece-poss worth taking to a metal plating specialist for an opinion on metal types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
