Removing silver tarnish marks from fur

[Tarheel]

Do you use toothpaste on silver plated items, or only solid silver? I would be worried that the abrasives would be harmful to silver plated things.

All my silver pieces were made before 1960 and are solid (Sterling).

I also would worry about wearing a plated finish off with abrasive polishing. I would consider the chemical washes and a wash that neutralizes the finish afterward. It is possible to apply a clear coat after an acceptable shine is achieved. That requires removing all metal from the sporran.
