<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 3693469, member: 255"]Polishing is such a personal thing but I collect mid century Mexico on a small scale and I want all my Teran, Los Castillo, Pineda, etc. looking like new. All I can tell you is that all the serious dealers (whether private or B&M) of this period that I know (and I know most of them in the SW US from years of collecting) keep those pieces shined like a mirror and get the top prices. Meanwhile as I sit and stare at my definitely tarnished Teran coffee set I know I have a project-basically ready to pay someone to do it for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
