To remove an engraved crest from a small silver jug, (1) file out the work with a fine fiat file if the surface of the jug is of a full or rounded nature, anil with a riffler or small bent file if hollow. Finish with suakestone or Tam-o'-Shanter hone, and polish with rottenstone and oil. Send it to be electro-gilded and scratch-brushed on the inside, with a light coating of silver on the outside, and have the outside burnishe i and " handed up." The jug will thus look equal to new. Before sending to plate, look well over for possible dents. (2) Fill up the cuts with silver solder - same colour as near as possible to the silver - dress off, and finish as No. 1. (3) Cut out a shield from sheet silver (No. 6 to 9 gauge, S.M.G.) either round, oval, or of an heraldic shape, hard solder neatly, and finish as No. 1.
