Historic methods of silver cleaning
edit1979 - "...rubb the flagons and chalices from topp to the Bottome, not crosswire, but the Bason and patnes are to be rubb’d roundwise, not acrosse, and by noe means use either chalk, sand, or salt
Something tells me that's not 1979. I'd fix it but I'm not sure what the proper year is. S7evyn (talk) 01:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- Also, "for the damp with spoyle it" doesn't make sense. Perhaps the source material said "for the damp will spoyle it"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.30.200.103 (talk) 06:14, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Melting down/scrapping- a consideration for conservation?
editHi scholars. Just wondering if anyone has a decent source for the issue within silver conservation of people simply melting fine and/or historical pieces down or selling them as scrap to bullion dealers; etc?
With silver prices being relatively high; I've heard anecdotally this is an issue and it seems like something that should be covered here. Obviously this is not a concern when actual scrap is melted down; but when actual historical or fine pieces are melted; this crosses over into a conservation issue.
