Author	Topic: My New Display Piece
chase33 Posts: 362 Registered: Feb 2008	posted 08-28-2011 09:12 PM I thought I would share my "new" display piece. Its kinda like a wooden Riker mount box. It was given to me by the owner of a store where I work part-time since it had been left by someone selling their silver. It is perfect for my collection of spoon pins. After the pics, I have 2 questions. I plan on arranging the spoons in chronological order. Now for my 2 questions: It currently has a deep red velvet that covers the foam insert that needs to be replaced. Can I use another velvet or should I use something else? If I use velvet, is rayon/polyester ok or should I go for the cotton velvet? Anyone know where I can find other boxes like this? I have tried searching online but not having any luck so far.

Kimo Posts: 1627 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 08-28-2011 11:47 PM Be sure that whatever you use does not have any sulfur in it. That will tarnish your silver very quickly. Also, anything with rubber and some kinds of felt or wool, and even some kinds of treated cotton can contain chemicals that will accelerate tarnish. If the seller of the products you plan to use does not know if they contain chemicals that cause tarnish you may want to keep a close eye on your silver to see if it starts to tarnish quickly in the box.

I do have some of the silver cloth (in the standard blue color) and thought about using that but I do love the look of the velvet thats in there already, so I was kinda hoping to use that again.
