A tale of two forks

I sell a lot of vintage silverware on Etsy and sometimes it starts out looking like a lost cause.

This fork a good example of that!

I didn't hold out too much hope to get it clean and bright.

But, with some silver polish (I like to use Parker & Bailey) and a little elbow grease.....

......the fork has new life and will
be welcome on a dinner table
for many more meals.
