Recently I acquired a whole bunch of brass magic tricks. This appears to be all stuff from the early 2000’s and a lot of it was really tarnished.
I spent some time and elbow grease to clean them up a little bit. Below is a comparison of the two cups from a set of Flying Coins, one before and one after cleaning.
I like a nice patina on things, but sometimes patina just look funky. These look a lot better after a quick cleaning!
