If you aren't careful, the plate comes off entirely. I experimented on a set I got off of eBay and the gold came completely off of a knife blade. I've been afraid to touch it since, but am still searching for an answer.

The clock is old. I would be reticent to do anything that might devalue it. Brasso would most likely ruin the finish of the clock, or at least remove the patina which is what most buyers are looking for. I suggest that you take the clock to a clock repairman with experience in antique restoration. The clock sounds like something you and your family wouldn't want to take chances with. This might be a good time to have the clock appraised and added to your insurance.

I always use brasso. It has been around for every and has stood the test of time.
It depends how adventurous you want to be but they may a polishing attachment for the dremel tool that makes quick work out of tarnish as well.
Good luck!
