    Hi,
    I picked up this tortoise shell case, 3"L x 2", with silver or metal mounts. Should I polish the mounts or leave them as is? No marks that I can find. I like the way it looks but not sure what others think.
    Any information appreciated

    Don't use silver polish of any kind. Sunshine cloth, very sparingly, if you must.

    If you want to be absolutely safe, just rub it with your fingers. It works just fine for small items, and there isn't a ton of silver on that. Wash your fingers off every so often of course! The acids in your skin will take the tarnish right off, no chemicals required.

    very nice...don't try going over the boarder with these !!!

    No need for the metal to gleam.....but a little rubbing is OK
