Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Feb 20, 2014Depending upon the finish that is original on them would determine the different methods of cleaning them. A buffing machine with polish will clean these up nicely. Little dirty work, but they will shine like new. You can use the polish wheels that come with Dremel tool, or you go all out and purchase a bench grinder and install a polish pad on it.Helpful Reply

Katie on Feb 22, 2014My question would be why do you want to get rid of the tarnish at all? My choice would be to cover them with a flammable oil or solvent and take a blow torch to them to bring out more "tarnish". Just a thought if you doing a shabby look.Helpful Reply
