Todays victim is a Wilcox Silver Plate Co Quadruple Plated Candelabra, severely dented to the body and showing some signs of plate loss (plate loss is normal for most quadruple plate pieces unless they were meticulously taken care of).
I get about 1.3-1.5% yield silver on average from plate. Hopefully this piece gets me more than that. We use reverse electrolysis (red on plated piece, black clamp on stainless steel or other piece of metal) with dilute hcl (just a bit will do) for approx. 3-5 mins/ outer surface in order to completely de-strip the piece of its silver.
The weight pre deplating is 1278 grams. I have done this before with a quadruple plated butter dish and got disappointing/ average results.
