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

The silverware spans many decades of manufacture and nickel content may be present in the exposed cut end of silverware.  There is little chance of a nickel sensitivity reaction due to the design of this product likely not making contact with bare skin.

Please clean and polish using "kinder" methods like commercial 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).
