Hey everyone, I recently found this sterling silver piece that is badly tarnished. I’m hoping somebody has a different way to clean it up a bit more than I already have. I’ve used baking soda and white vinegar with hot water and so far this is the best I can get it cleaned. Although I do like some tarnish on old pieces of silver, this is just a little too much for my liking. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and I think it’s a pipe. The small hinge on top is what leads me to this thought. Let me know if you think differently. Thanks again
