Sterling finds + help with this?

[Spartcom5]

Found some Towle sterling enamel plates for $30. They are dirty and gross but will clean up excellently. Not too much profit margin looking at some that have sold online but I like them for myself! Very Mid century modern.


Finally I boughr this sterling glass jar for $0.50 overall the piece is poor condition. But again I like this for myself! Art nouveau made by Webster! However I need help. How can I get dents out of the rim of the lid? Even slightly? I heard using a wooden peg works? Thoughts are great thanks! Also (I know it's sterling) but, was this plated at one point? Why is it really bright is some spots and dark in others? May just be it tarnished in a weird way....? Just doesn't seem like tarnish and the way it was gold washed underneath?

I love the coasters. I don't think I've seen those multicolored ones before. As for the Sterling cap. Some Sterling is plated to lock in the shine. Overtime this changes color and in some cases flakes off. The only thing I know to do would be to buffet on a buffing wheel with a brush to get down to the base sterling.
