[QUOTE="terry5732, post: 36303, member: 42"]These both started out looking the same dull black [ATTACH=full]9136[/ATTACH] The left one is Middletown 'BC GILT', the right is Pairpoint 'Quadruple plate'. [ATTACH=full]9138[/ATTACH] The Middletown shined instantly with an ammonia based polish with no hint of plate loss [ATTACH=full]9137[/ATTACH] The Pairpoint wouldn't show a silver color with sanding but has no sign of wear I've seen many like the Pairpoint.
