I recent inherited my grandmother's silver and china.
I'm sitting here polishing the silver (it probably hasn't been touched in 17 years or so- my grandmother died in 1987) while i'm watching the Pitt- Seton Hall Game.
POLISHING SILVER SUCKS! My hands feel like they're going to fall off. I haven't even gotten to the tea service yet- that's going to be a b!tch.
Does anyone have any tips?
Also, does anyone have any resources on how to find out what the pattern is? All I know is that they say "International Silver Co." and are probably from the 1940's. Anyone know a good website?
My china pattern is Franconia Palladina. See, those say what the pattern is! Why can't the silver?
