<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 609449, member: 4552&quot;]As usual GDJMSP is correct with that explanation. </p><p>Since so many items we eat with today are now Stainless Steel, many have forgotten the good old days when Silverware was really Silverware. And how our Moms had to constantly clean them with special fluids like Tarn-X. This removed the darkening but the darkening was in reality part of the Silver. </p><p>In normal air with the correct gasses present, Silver will combine with many of them readily forming different discolorations. Naturally the most common are AgNO3, AgF2 and Ag(S)5)3. The problem with Silver is this process continues until all the Silver has been Compounded so anyone that says it does not lower the value is sort of a little wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
