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 exposed in the cut end of the silverware.  If you have a nickel sensitivity you may experience a reaction if worn against bare skin.

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