I spent much of the weekend polishing silver plate for our Etsy shop.  In doing so, I thought it was a good time to show how I polish silver plate and, in particular, silver plate flatware.  I picked a great set to show you because it needed sooooo much polishing.  This set is Community Plate and is the Evening Star pattern.  This pattern was produced from 1950-1961.  Some shops offer unpolished flatware.  One of the reasons I polish our flatware is to  bring the pieces back to life and to show them as close to their original condition as possible.   …
