The silverware is good quality old silverplate sourced from auctions and estate sales.

The silverware spans many decades of manufacture.  There is potential for nickel content to be exposed in the cut ends of the silverware.  If you have a nickel sensitivity you many experience a skin reaction to this product if worn next to bare skin.

Please clean and polish using "kinder" methods like commerical polishes and polishing cloths.  The use of fast acting dips is not recommended!  When not wearing, store away from the air (perhaps in a zip lock bag).
