[QUOTE="Marsden, post: 18510743, member: 38010"]I would not quibble for a moment about the exact definition of 'bright white' etc. But what I'd want to know is what constitutes 'proper storage' (or 'conscientiously stored') in your case, and separately: how could it be that silver exposed to the elements fails to tarnish over a period of a century or so? The obvious example of sterling flatware comes to mind.
