We rejected in error a comment from a reader so we have created a post here to repair the error.
The reader asked why his/her soup spoon bowls tarnished faster than the spoon handles.
We can only guess at the answer. Certain foods cause tarnish much faster than others. These include eggs and vinegar. We add vinegar to some Chinese soups we prepare from time to time so maybe that's what this reader was doing. We suggest prompt hand washing after use to help alleviate the problem.
We will be interested to hear comments from other readers on this subject.

I have been collecting many items for over 20 years. I am now getting much of it out of my house. I placed a whole box of 'silver' items in my garage sale last summer. My neighbor came by, saw it, and brought it back to me and told me not to sell them. He said that they were more valuable than I was asking for. I don't know what they are. I don't even know if they are real silver. I bought them because they were pretty.
How can I tell what is silver and what is not silver? Some have marks on them, some don't and some marks have all but disappeared.
Thank you.
