<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KC Antique, post: 288109, member: 5817&quot;]There are great options listed above - but I would be wary of using WD40 on fine pieces.&nbsp; Remember humid air and heat hasten tarnishing.</p><p>Line drawers and even the shelf of a display cabinet with anti-tarnish silvercloth. You can buy it online by the yard easily and in so many different colors (brown, blue, black, gray). OR you can buy ready-made bags/holders.&nbsp; </p><p>I cannot use moth balls either but use those little silica packets that you find in purchased shoe boxes, leather, etc,&nbsp; They work great in cabinets/drawers/trunks.&nbsp; You can even purchase them - but the local shoe store has freely given me a box full since they dispose of them.&nbsp; </p><p>The more silver is handled/used the less chance of tarnish buildup.</p><p>Don&#039;t use rubber bands to hold piece together (they contain sulphur.)&nbsp; If you put items in plastic bags make sure they are clean and COMPLETELY dry - add a piece of chalk or silica packets to absorb the moisture.</p><p>There are paint on lacquer type products for permanent protection - but I have yet to see a renowned collector/museum support this.&nbsp; It could also devalue a piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
