Cecil,
That was me. There are places advertising in Hemmings Motor
News that do this and from what I've heard cost about $80
per set to resilver. There is a way to do this yourself if
you check out this place.

There is another product called Alclad that is sold at
Hiobby shops that is very close to silvering but much cheaper
at about $7.50 a bottle.
