To Owners of Old Plate.

The value of old plate is seriously
diminished by methods of cleaning at
present in common use. The removal
of the surface by the process known
as Quitting not only destroys the
beautiful blue color which alone comes
from age and handcleaning, but in
great measure, also - the makers
marks and owners initials, which sig
Nifty it's provenance and guarantee its
commercial value. A certain lot of old
family silver in good condition was by
i'll luck given lately to be cleaned. 1t
is now unrecognizable, and although
the perfection of "shine," the makers
marks of the seventeenth century are
almost undecipherable. Were these
pieces exhibited beside some of the
beautiful old silver now shown at the
museum, the extent of the havoc
wrought in them would be surprise.
Both for the looks of old plate and out
of regard for its worth in money, own
ers should beware of modern 'buffing."
If silver is badly furnished, one or
two applications of a metal polish used
for brass and copper will, with little
patience, remove the worst of the tar
nish. when silver polish should be
used. Camphor placed with silver
when packed will prevent tarnish.-
