    Found Out Something Interesting

    So I pick up some silver plate for less than scrap brass price. Lots of it out there at garage sales and I pick it up when I can. Many times, the piece looks interesting and I wind up listing it on e-Bay. Most of the time it is heavily tarnished and I don't bother trying to clean it, but I think I may have found an easy way. I am not sure if I get dirty brass price for silver plate with a zinc handles and pieces, but I thought for $hits and giggles I would melt the zinc pieces off with a torch. Well, this was the result... It looks like the blue flame torch cooked all of the oxidation tarnish off the plate. Might give it a try on something I need cleaned.
