My paternal grandmother left me 4 old stearling silver baby spoons. 2 of them lost their tornish, after I polished then a bit, The other 2 how ever the handles are clean, but the spoon or( botton end)looks like its still tarnished,they are a goldish color. Yes the spoons are stamped on the back stearling.
So what do I do?

I'm using silver polish, made for silver wear, it can also be used for jewlery, it just not getting the tarnish bit off. The handles is the only place where to spoon's were ingraved.That came clean after 10 min of polishing.

I worked in a jewelry store for over 10 yrs and the best thing is toothpaste. Put a little on it and then rub with a soft cloth. You will notice that there is black on the cloth, that was what was on your spoon, then rinse in cold water and dry. This works for sterling silver jewelry as well!!! Try it and you will see.

Sterling Silver Baby Spoon

Try commercial silver polish as this should clean it.
Another way - is to take an old aluminum pan you no longer care about, fill it with water, add salt to the water (about1 tablespoon of salt / cup of water, need not be exact). Warm the water to about 150 deg F or so. Put the spoons in the container. Take shiney new aluminum foil and put it in the water as pieces. The aluminum foil will darken (making aluminum oxide) and the silver will reduce from silver oxide to silver. However, if the tarnish is silver sulfide from exposure to sulfur containing food, you may not find this will work.

Are they small enough to fit inside a jewelry cleaner?
You know, the ones that are basically a bath for jewelry?
I'd recommend that since silver polish could be more difficult to get in and out of detailed crevices.

You buy silver polish at the store (grocery store, department store) and clean the spoons. It's just that easy!

Take the spoons to a Jeweller, he will be able to get the best finish.
